Description

This quick Southwest-inspired pizza offers a vibrant twist on classic comfort food. Bright, tangy tomatillo salsa provides a fresh base, topped with tender chicken strips seasoned with warm chili powder. Crispy flour tortillas serve as the perfect vehicle for these bold flavors, while melted low-fat cheese ties everything together. The combination of fresh cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeños delivers a zesty kick that balances the richness of the cheese. Ideal for a light dinner or a casual weeknight meal, this recipe is simple to assemble and cooks in minutes. It’s a satisfying, flavorful dish that brings restaurant-quality taste to your home kitchen without the fuss.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C).
  2. Place flour tortillas on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes or until lightly toasted.
  3. In a small bowl, combine chopped tomatillos, plum tomatoes, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, hot pepper sauce, cumin, and salt. Mix well.
  4. Stir 1 cup of shredded mild cheddar cheese into the salsa mixture.
  5. Toss chicken strips with chili powder in a separate bowl until evenly coated.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
  7. Cook chicken strips in the skillet until tender and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Spread 1/2 cup of the salsa and cheese mixture onto each toasted tortilla.
  9. Top each pizza with cooked chicken strips, red onion wedges, and 1/4 cup of the remaining shredded cheese.
  10. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
