Nacho Pizza

The pizza that started it all ... or at least inspired this blog.

Ever since we discovered an amazing pizza crust recipe, we've been making a lot of pizza. A LOT. Roasted red peppers and sausage. Shrimp and clam sauce. Potato, leek and goat cheese.

Then tonight, snowed in with one crust and no typical pizza-making ingredients, we expanded our pizza horizons even farther: we made nacho pizza.  From the ground up it went something like this:
  1. Thinly rolled, par-baked crust
  2. Layer of salsa verde
  3. Black beans tossed with a variety of herbs & spices (cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, dried parsley, salt, pepper)
  4. Chopped tomatoes
  5. Grated cheddar cheese
  6. JalapeƱo slices
A few minutes in the oven on the pizza stone, and BAM, this deeelicious nacho pizza emerged.


I said, "You know, we should start a blog about our pizzas. What would we call it?" And ML, for reasons unknown, responded "Pizza your face!"

(Next step: streamline the picture-taking so we can get the pizza in to our mouths sooner.)
