Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 3/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 2 (12-inch) pizza crusts or frozen cheese pizzas
  • 2 (16-ounce) jars chunky salsa
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages shredded Mexican cheese (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, and other mild cheeses combined)
  • 1 (2 1/4-ounce) can sliced black olives
  • 1 cup chopped cooked ham
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Sour cream

Directions

Position the oven rack at the lowest level. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven on the rack. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Heat the oil in a small saucepan and cook the mushrooms and green pepper over medium heat until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Cut the crusts into biscuit sized pieces using a biscuit cutter. Distribute the vegetables evenly over the crusts. Reserve 1 cup of the salsa and spoon the remaining salsa evenly over the pizzas. If you don't have a pizza stone, place the pizzas on a baking sheet. They won't be as crisp as they would be if you placed them directly on the rack, but this is a lot less messy.

Bake the pizzas for 10 to 12 minutes, then sprinkle with the cheese. Bake for 7 minutes more. Serve the pizza slices topped with the reserved salsa, olives, cooked ham, shredded lettuce, and sour cream.

Cook's Tip:

For a Greek style pizza, use olives, tapenade, spinach, and feta cheese. For an Italian style pizza, use tomato sauce and provolone cheese

    Left off the olives - hubby and I aren't a fan of them - and just used one whole frozen cheese pizza - for the lack of a biscuit cutter. This was so delicious, though!

    This was actually a very tasty dish. Pay no mind to those haters who clearly can't understand the difference between the terms "AUTHENTIC MEXICAN" & "MEXICAN INSPIRED"!

    Very good and recipe does not say "authentic" Mexican as pizza is really an Italian dish. This is an American dish using some mexican flavors. Made in the USA.
