Southwestern Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 large ripe avocado
• 1 seeded and minced jalapeno chile pepper
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin
• pinch cayenne pepper
• 1/2 cup frozen and thawed (or fresh) corn kernels
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 – 1 lb ball pizza dough, whole wheat or regular, store-bought or homemade
• 1 cup freshly grated monterey jack or jalapeno cheddar cheese (I went light on the cheese, given the richness of the guacamole sauce… but feel free to add more to your liking)
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onions
• 1 medium-sized yellow bell pepper, cut into slices (can substitute orange or red… green can be used as well, although it won’t be as sweet)
• 1/2 cup sliced chorizo
• 2 whole green onions, sliced thin
• hot sauce, optional (I used Tobasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce, and it was an awesome addition!)
