Author: Jay Trabelsi

Ingredients

  • 1 ball pizza dough
  • 1 large purple potato thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast shredded or chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Hot sauce optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Toss purple potato slices with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Season the chicken.
  • Toss cooked chicken with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Add hot sauce if desired.
  • Increase oven to 500°F (260°C).
  • Stretch your dough into a 12-inch round on a floured surface. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
  • Make the crema base.
  • Mix the crema or sour cream with lime juice and a small pinch of salt. Spread a thin layer over the dough like a sauce.
  • Top your pizza.
  • Layer on roasted purple potatoes, seasoned chicken, red onion, mozzarella, and Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, until crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
  • Finish and serve.
  • Top with fresh cilantro, extra crema, and hot sauce. Slice, share, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra-crispy potatoes, slice them thin and use a mandoline.
  • Use pre-cooked chicken to save time (rotisserie works great).
  • Add a dash of lime zest to your crema for an extra pop.
