Chorizo Pizza
This post may contain affiliate links.See my disclosure policy.Loaded with chorizo, roasted red peppers, olives, queso fresco, and more, this Mexican-style pizza is out of this world! Deep dish and baked in a cast iron skillet, this Chorizo Pizza recipe is sure to be a total smash hit! Have you ever tried making pizza in a cast iron skillet? If not, you’re in for a real treat.
It makes the crust on the pizza all the more crispy on the outside.And those white fluffy things on the chorizo pizza that look like marshmallows? That’s Queso Fresco, a fresh whole milk Mexican cheese. But I guess you could almost think of them as a savory version of marshmallows, because they’re likewise slightly charred on the outside and slightly oozing on the inside and just oh so good! Pizza’s always a welcome dish, whether it’s for a casual family dinner, a gathering of friends, or for Game Day.
You can make any size you want: A larger 12-inch cast iron skillet will make a deep dish pizza that will easily serve 4 or you can use a 6-inch skillet to make singles (and then some), which is always fun.Of course if they insist on a 12-inch’er all to themselves, you can do that too.(Just be prepared with a stretcher on hand.) Whether you prefer a thick or a thin crust, this is fully customizable and the cast iron skillet method is perfect for either.
Want a thinner crust? Use a large skillet or simply use less of the dough. Want a thick crust? Use the 12-inch skillet r
