Instructions
Creating Chicken Taco Pizza is simple and enjoyable! Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: In a skillet, combine the shredded chicken with the taco seasoning. Add a splash of water if needed to help the seasoning blend. Cook over medium heat until heated through, about 5 minutes.
3. Roll Out the Dough: If using a homemade pizza crust, roll it out to your desired thickness. Place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
4. Spread the Chicken: Evenly distribute the seasoned chicken over the pizza crust.
5. Add the Cheeses: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses generously over the chicken.
6. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
7. Prepare the Toppings: While the pizza is baking, prepare your fresh toppings by dicing the tomatoes, shredding the lettuce, and slicing the avocado.
8. Remove from Oven: Once baked, carefully remove the pizza from the oven.
9. Add Fresh Toppings: Immediately top the pizza with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, black olives, red onion, and avocado slices.
10. Garnish: Drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle cilantro on top for extra flavor.
11. Slice and Serve: Cut the pizza into slices and serve warm.
