Chicken Taco Supreme Pizza

Cook’s Notes

• For best results on this pizza, please use the dough and method from The Best Pan Pizza post. It is the perfect vehicle for all those toppings!
• The BEST chicken to use for this recipe is leftover Slow-Cooker Sriracha Honey Barbecue Chicken. In that case, you don’t have to do anything other than add a few dashes of hot sauce and it’s ready to go. Another good choice is Slow-Cooker Shredded Chicken for Recipes. If you use the second option (or another fully-cooked shredded chicken) you’ll want to toss it with hot sauce and/or taco sauce to taste to keep it moist while baking.
• Keep in mind that you want to let the pizza cool for a few minutes before hitting it with your taco toppings. The reason for this is that you don’t want all your lovely fresh vegetables to wilt!
• Speaking of vegetables, when it comes to taco pizza, I make like my mom and use iceberg lettuce. I love the crunch it provides. Save the fancy pants lettuces for your salads- you need some oomph here!

Ingredients

  

• One batch of The Best Pan Pizza Dough prepared and risen in 2 well-oiled cast-iron skillets or 8-inch cake pans according to instructions
• 2 1/2 cups of leftover Slow-Cooker Honey Sriracha Barbecue Chicken OR Slow-Cooker Shredded Chicken for Recipes tossed with taco sauce and/or hot sauce to taste
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese

Toppings:

• shredded iceberg lettuce
• chopped fresh tomatoes
• chopped fresh cilantro
• sliced ripe avocados
• Fritos

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 550°F.
• Divide the shredded chicken evenly between the two pans of dough and spread it around. Sprinkle each pizza with a 1/2 cup of the mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the Cheddar, and 1/2 cup of the Pepper Jack cheese. Bake for 12 to 20 minutes, depending on how done you like your pizzas. Remove the pizzas from the oven and use a flexible spatula to ease around the edges of the pizza, then use it to gently scoot under the pizza and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing. After slicing, top with the shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, cilantro, and Fritos. Serve immediately.
• If you have leftovers, they store best if you remove the chips and vegetables. You can reheat the pizza and re-top with leftover vegetables!
