Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier pizza, add more jalapenos or use a spicier salsa.
- If you don't have chorizo, you can use ground beef or chicken instead.
- To make the pizza crust crispier, preheat a pizza stone in the oven before baking the pizza on it.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the chorizo and add sliced bell peppers and onions instead.
- Serve with a side of guacamole and tortilla chips for a complete Mexican-inspired meal.
