Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 12″ HRI Classic Pepperoni Pizza
Toppings
- 6 oz chorizo (choose either cured, thinly sliced, or ground and cooked)
- ½ mango, cubed
- ½ red onion, sliced
- 3 tbsp fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the pizza to a crispy golden crust.
- Prepare the Chorizo: If using cured chorizo, slice it thinly (about ⅛ inch thick). If using ground chorizo, spray a medium pan with oil and cook the chorizo over medium-low heat, browning it through for approximately 10 minutes until fully cooked.
- Assemble the Pizza: Remove the pepperoni pizza from all packaging. Evenly distribute the prepared chorizo, cubed mango, and sliced red onion across the surface of the pizza.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the assembled pizza directly on the oven rack to allow the crust to cook evenly. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the toppings are heated through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top. Cut the pizza into squares and serve immediately for a delightful combination of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors.
Notes
- Use either cured sliced chorizo for a firmer texture or ground chorizo cooked in a pan for a more crumbly topping.
- For extra heat, consider adding sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- If fresh mango is not available, frozen mango chunks can be used—thaw before adding.
- Placing the pizza directly on the oven rack helps achieve a crispier crust than using a baking sheet.
- Allow the pizza to cool slightly after baking to enhance slicing and serving.
