Chorizo and Red Bean Pizza

I wanted to try something a little different with pizza; this is what I came up with.

12 oz. chorizo

onion

poblano pepper (I used half)

red beans, drained (or use your favorite variety)

your favorite cheese (I used Mexican blend)

frozen pizza crust, thawed (or use your favorite)

corn meal

olive oil

Heat large frying pan on medium high heat. Add chorizo and brown. Drain well on paper towel and add back to pan. Add onion and pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add beans and cook for about 5 minutes more.

While chorizo mixture is cooking, preheat oven to 450° and move a rack to bottom level in oven. Oil pizza pan and sprinkle on some cornmeal. Spread crust to edges.

Cool chorizo mixture til about room temperature.

Sprinkle cheese over crust. Spread chorizo mixture over cheese. Sprinkle on more cheese.

Bake for about 15 minutes.

I topped Matt's with plain yogurt and some crushed Doritoes. I added more beans and some extra cheese.

Delicious! You just never know what you might come up with when experimenting with food.
