Mexican Breakfast Pizza Recipe

I just whipped up this crazy breakfast pizza with eggs, refried beans, salsa, chorizo and avocado and honestly its totally changed my morning vibe making me feel like a kitchen rockstar.

I think this Mexican Breakfast Pizza is my favorite way to kick off the morning. I love how the store bought dough brushed with olive oil supports creamy refried beans, tangy salsa, spicy chorizo and eggs, melty cheeses, jalapeno, avocado and red onions.

It’s a hearty, flavor packed meal.

Ingredients

• Pizza dough provides carbs for energy and a tasty base thats easy to work with
• Refried beans add protein and fibre which makes it filling and gives a smooth texture
• Salsa brings a tangy, slightly spicy kick with vitamins and a fresh, bright flavour
• Eggs are full of protein and healthy fat that help keep you satisfied through the day
• Avocado offers creamy texture with heart healthy fats and extra fibre for a balanced bite

Ingredient Quantities

• 1 store-bought pizza dough (about 12 inch round)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup refried beans
• 1 cup salsa (use your favorite kind)
• 4 oz crumbled chorizo sausage (or chopped bacon if you prefer)

How to Make this

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F and lightly oil a baking sheet or pizza stone.

2. Roll or stretch out the store-bought dough onto your baking surface and brush it with the olive oil.

3. Evenly spread the refried beans over the dough and then drizzle your favorite salsa on top.

4. Sprinkle the crumbled chorizo (or bacon if you prefer) over the beans and salsa.

5. Carefully crack the eggs onto the pizza, trying not to break the yolks while spacing them out evenly.

6. Generously sprinkle both the Mexican blend and cheddar cheeses over the entire pizza.

7. Add the thinly sliced jalapeno and red onion all over the pizza for a bit of heat and crunch.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes until the crust turns golden and the eggs are cooked to your liking.

9. Remove the pizza from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro.

10. Season with salt and pepper to taste, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot.

FAQ

• Q: Do I need to pre-bake the dough?
  A: No, you dont have to. Just brush it with olive oil before layering on the refried beans and other toppings to help it cook evenly.
• Q: Can I swap out the chorizo sausage for another meat?
  A: Absolutely! If you prefer bacon or even a meatless alternative, just make sure its cooked before adding it on the pizza.
• Q: How do I keep the eggs from overcooking?
  A: Try to add the eggs a few minutes before the pizza is done.. That should give them enough time to set without turning rubbery.
• Q: Can I make a vegetarian version of this pizza?
  A: Sure, just leave out the chorizo and use extra beans, or add in your favourite veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor.
• Q: How spicy is this pizza?
  A: It has some heat from the jalapeno and salsa, but if you dont like spicy food, remove the seeds from the pepper and use a milder salsa.

Mexican Breakfast Pizza Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you cant find store-bought pizza dough, you might wanna try making your own dough or even use naan bread for a quick twist.
• If chorizo isn’t your thing or hard to find, try swapping it with bacon or turkey sausage for a milder flavor.
• Not a fan of jalapeños? You can use serrano peppers or banana peppers instead if you want a slightly different kick.
• If you’re out of salsa, pico de gallo can be a good alternative, giving you that fresh taste.
• No Mexican blend cheese? Monterey Jack or even extra cheddar can work when you’re in a pinch.

Pro Tips

1. Let the dough sit out for a bit – it’s way easier to work with if it warms up a little, so try leaving it at room temperature for 15 or 20 minutes before you stretch it out.
2. Be super careful when cracking the eggs onto the pizza. If you crack them too hard you might break the yolks and then you wont get that perfect gooey center.
3. For an extra crisp crust, use a baking stone if you have one. Preheat it in the oven along with it so that it really helps get that base nice and crunchy.
4. Spread the beans and salsa really evenly. This will help keep the toppings from sliding around when the eggs are added and make sure every bite has some flavors mix up well.
