Ingredients

Topping

  • 2 ounces Mexican chorizo, crumbled
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ¼ cup salsa
  • 1 tablespoon diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves for garnish
  • 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten, at room temperature
  • cooking spray

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2
Place 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until melted, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir well. Add almond flour, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper. Use your hands to combine dough. Once combined, add beaten egg and stir until well incorporated.

Step 3
Spray 2 large pieces of parchment paper with non-stick spray. Place dough on one piece of parchment paper and cover with the second piece. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten pizza dough to a 10-inch round. Remove top parchment paper and place bottom piece of parchment paper with flattened pizza dough onto a baking sheet. Pierce all of the pizza dough with a fork to prevent the dough from rising.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until bottom starts to brown, 12 to 17 minutes.

Step 5
Meanwhile place chorizo in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a paper towel. Microwave in three 1-minute increments, uncovering and stirring meat well after each.

Step 6
Remove pizza crust from oven and top with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, chorizo, salsa, and onion. Bake until cheese is melted, 4 to 6 minutes more. Garnish with cilantro leaves.

Cook’s Note:

Jack cheese can be used in the crust instead of mozzarella cheese.
