Chorizo Sweet Potato Fry Pizza
A decadent and flavorful chorizo sweet potato fry pizza that will satisfy any comfort food craving!
Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅓ pound ground chorizo cooked
- 6 to 8 ounces sweet potato fries
- 1 pound pizza dough
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- ⅓ pound shredded mozzarella cheese
- Red onion sliced thinly
- Fresh cilantro de-stemmed and roughly chopped
- Chipotle mayo
Instructions
- Cook the ground chorizo in a frying pan over medium-high heat until browned, about 8 minutes, breaking the meat up as it cooks.
- In the meantime, cook the sweet potato fries in the air fryer until crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes at 360 degrees F.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and lightly flour your hands and a 14-inch round pizza pan. Stretch the dough until it fits the pan, using gravity to help you.
- Assemble the pizza. Spread the pizza sauce onto the dough in a thin, even layer, leaving about a quarter- to a half-inch of the edge uncovered for the crust. Top with sweet potato fries, chorizo, and sliced red onion. Then top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
- Finally, drizzle the pizza with chipotle mayo and garnish with cilantro. Serve hot.
Notes
Pizza dough: Feel free to use any kind of pizza dough for this recipe – fresh or frozen (or even homemade if you’re feeling ambitious!). Just remember to leave the dough out for about 1-2 hours (depending on if it's refrigerated or frozen) before working with it so that it reaches room temperature. Be sure to follow the baking directions for the specific dough you are using.
Pizza sauce: Our homemade pizza sauce is super easy and delicious - get the recipe here.
Sweet potato fries: We cooked about 1/3 of a 20-oz bag of our favorite Alexia sweet potato fries in our air fryer for this recipe.
Chipotle mayo: Chipotle mayo can vary from very plain to very chipotle - we love Sir Kensington's because it's a little more flavorful than most, and it tasted great on this pizza. Alternatively, try our homemade chipotle mayo here!
Stretching the dough: If you're new to stretching pizza dough, check out our Buffalo Chicken Pizza recipe for detailed instructions and best practices. Pro tip: don't be afraid to use flour if it's too sticky, and gravity is your best friend.
Baking pizza: Pizza can be finicky and cooks at different rates depending on the hydration level of your dough, your oven's actual temperature, and other factors. We recommend keeping an eye on your pizza as it cooks and using visual cues to tell when it's done - use our time estimates as a rough guide.
