Ingredients:

Regarding the Pizza Dough:

- 1 pound (450 grams) of homemade or store-bought pizza dough

When Making the Enchilada Sauce:

- Olive oil, 1 tbsp

- 1 small onion, diced finely

- 2 minced garlic cloves

- 1 can (14 ounces) of diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted.

- One-fourth cup tomato paste

- 1 teaspoon cumin, ground

- One tablespoon of chili powder

- A half teaspoon of paprika

- 1/4 teaspoon oregano, dry

- To taste, salt and pepper

Toppings for Pizza:

- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (salt and pepper to taste)

- 1 cup of finely chopped mozzarella cheese

- 1 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded

- 1/2 cup of black olives, sliced

- 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro

Sliced Jalapenos are Optional but Provide Heat.

Instructions:

1. Set your oven to the temperature recommended on the pizza dough container or in accordance with the instructions for your handmade pizza dough.

2. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until transparent. Add the minced garlic, stir, and cook for one more minute.

3. Fill the pot with the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, cumin powder, chili powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. To thoroughly incorporate all the ingredients, stir well. To slightly thicken the sauce, let it simmer for around 5-7 minutes.

4. Take the sauce off the stove and let it to slightly cool. The sauce should then be well blended using a blender or an immersion blender.

5. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to the desired thickness and shape.

6. Place the rolled-out pizza dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.

7. Cover the pizza dough liberally with the enchilada sauce, leaving a thin border at the sides for the crust.

8. Top the sauce with the crumbled mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

9. Distribute the chicken shredded equally throughout the pizza.

10. Add sliced black olives and, if you prefer it spicy, sliced jalapenos to the top.

11. Put the pizza in the preheated oven and bake it as directed on the pizza dough or until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, whichever comes first.

12. To add a splash of flavor and color, when the pizza has finished baking, take it from the oven and top with fresh cilantro that has been chopped.

13. Enjoy this flavorful fusion cuisine by slicing and serving the Chicken Enchilada Pizza while it's still hot!
