Prep Ingredients
Before you start this recipe, be sure to prep all your ingredients. That means measure out everything, crumble the chorizo, halve the tomatoes, and slice the red onion! It’s so much faster for your assembly process once you get the pizza going.
While you are preparing the ingredients, be sure to also place your pizza stone on the grill and preheat it.

Assemble
Stretch out the dough to your desired shape. I personally like a rough circle. If I could ever make a perfect circle I would, but I know my limits and an imperfect circle is my permanent goal at this point, haha!
Top the dough with a layer of LA VICTORIA® Thick ‘N Chunky Salsa Verde, making sure to leave a small border for a crust. Add the cheeses on top, then the remaining toppings including chorizo, tomatoes, and red onion.
Grill
Grill the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted. This will take about 7 to 10 minutes. Top with additional LA VICTORIA® Thick ‘N Chunky Salsa Verde as desired!

If you don’t have a grill, or if there isn’t great grilling weather where you are, you can use a conventional oven. Preheat the pizza stone in the oven to 500˚F. Bake for the same amount of time mentioned in the recipe below.
