Grilled Mexican Pizza Recipes

GRILLED MEXICAN PIZZA WITH SALSA VERDE AND CHORIZO

Steps:

• Place wine, water, and yeast in a large bowl; whisk until combined. Stir in honey, salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Mix in 1 cup of flour with a wooden spoon until it becomes a loose batter. Add 2 more cups of flour and stir for 2-3 minutes. Incorporate as much flour as you can with the wooden spoon.
• Bring dough together by hand and turn out onto a floured board or marble surface with the remaining ¼ cup flour. Knead around 3 minutes until dough is smooth and just slightly sticky.
• Place dough in an oiled bowl, using the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cover bowl with a dishtowel. Let rise in a warm part of the kitchen for 45 minutes. The dough should triple in size.
• For individual pizzas, cut the dough into 4 pieces and knead into rounds. Cut into 3 pieces for pizzas that will serve 2. Let rest 15 minutes. (Dough can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate.)
• Preheat grill with pizza stone on grates over medium-high heat to around 550°F, or conventional oven to 500°F.
• Sprinkle pizza peel with 1-2 tablespoons of cornmeal. Stretch dough into desired shape and place on pizza peel.
• Spread salsa verde over dough. Top with oaxaca and queso fresco cheese. Sprinkle chorizo, cherry tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes over cheese.
• Slide pizza off peel and onto preheated stone. Close the lid and grill 5-6 minutes (or bake in oven 7-8 minutes), until crust is golden on the edges and brown and crisp on the bottom.
• When done, use a large spatula to help transfer pizza back onto the peel. Top with additional crumbled queso fresco, green onion and cilantro, as desired. Cut into slices and serve.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss tomatillos, onion, peppers, and garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Let vegetables cool enough to peel garlic and remove seeds and charred skin from the peppers.
• Transfer all vegetables to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth (be sure to leave space for steam to vent when blending hot ingredients).
• Next, blend in lime juice and zest, cilantro, and honey. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.) Makes about 2 ½ cups.
• Use as sauce on Mexican Pizza or serve with chips, over steak, chicken, pork, fish and seafood. It's even great on omelets! Leftover sauce can be frozen up to 3 months.

GRILLED S'MORES PIZZA

Steps:

• Rest dough on a floured work surface for 20 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Line a baking sheet with a layer of aluminum foil, (such as Reynolds Wrap®). Brush a 14-inch circle on the foil using 1 tablespoon butter.
• Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness on the work surface. Lay onto the buttered area of the aluminum foil. Brush the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Sprinkle chocolate evenly on top. Spread marshmallows, graham crackers, and salt over the chocolate.
• Slide the foil onto the grill over indirect heat. Grill, lid closed, until crust is golden and marshmallows are toasted, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cut pizza into pieces. Cool before serving, about 5 minutes.

PIZZA ON THE GRILL I

Steps:

• In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water, and mix in sugar. Proof for ten minutes, or until frothy. Mix in the salt, olive oil, and flour until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth, about 8 minutes. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, and cover with a damp cloth. Set aside to rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down, and knead in garlic and basil. Set aside to rise for 1 more hour, or until doubled again.
• Preheat grill for high heat. Heat olive oil with garlic for 30 seconds in the microwave. Set aside. Punch down dough, and divide in half. Form each half into an oblong shape 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick.
• Brush grill grate with garlic flavored olive oil. Carefully place one piece of dough on hot grill. The dough will begin to puff almost immediately. When the bottom crust has lightly browned, turn the dough over using two spatulas. Working quickly, brush oil over crust, and then brush with 2 tablespoons tomato sauce. Arrange 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/8 cup sliced black olives, and 1/8 cup roasted red peppers over crust. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese and 2 tablespoons basil. Close the lid, and cook until the cheese melts. Remove from grill, and set aside to cool for a few minutes while you prepare the second pizza.

• 1. If you have leftover grilled steak, use that, otherwise, grill steak as you normally would. Let rest, slice very thinly. Grill onions, bell & mushrooms in skillet.
• 2. Brush both sides of dough with olive oil. Place pizza dough on grill rack for 4-5 min. on each side.
• 3. Remove from grill, top w/ tomatillo salsa, cheeses, steak, diced tomato & veggies.
• 4. Place dough back on grill, close lid so cheese will melt.

GRILLED PIZZA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the grill on high for 5-10 minutes.
• Coat the pizza dough with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Using your hands, rub the oil onto the outside of the dough while carefully stretching it into a circle 12-14 inches (30-35 cm) in diameter. Place the oiled pizza dough onto the preheated grill and quickly brush the top with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Close the grill and allow pizza dough to cook for 3-4 minutes.
• After 4 minutes, check the pizza. Large bubbles should be forming across the top of the dough. Using a large spatula or set of tongs, flip the dough over. Reduce the heat to low and add the sauce, cheese, and basil to the pizza. Increase the heat back to high and close the grill. Cook the pizza for 5-6 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the bottom of the crust is lightly charred.
• Cook the pizza for 5-6 minutes more, until the cheese has melted and the bottom of the crust is lightly charred.
• Enjoy!

CHORIZO AND REFRIED BEAN GRILLED PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill over high heat.
• Cook the chorizo slices in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until some of the fat has rendered and the chorizo is crisped, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Mix the refried beans and chili powder in a small bowl until combined and set aside.
• Stretch and roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a thin round about 1/4-inch thick and 12 inches in diameter; it's ok if it's not perfectly round. Place on a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil about 18 inches long. Lift the whole piece of foil and place on the grill. Check the bottom of the dough after 2 minutes as it begins to char, puff and bubble. Rotate one-quarter turn or halfway to evenly cook the bottom. Grill until the bottom of the dough is charred and the pizza is almost cooked through and there is no more raw-looking dough in the center, 4 to 7 minutes.
• Using the foil, remove the pizza from the grill, brush the top with the oil and flip. Spread the refried bean mixture on what is now the top of the crust, stopping about 1/2 inch from the edge. Sprinkle with the chorizo, cheese, jalapenos and red onions. Using the foil, lift the pizza back onto the grill. Grill until the bottom of the crust is charred and the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pizza from the grill and top with the cilantro and avocados. Slice and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the pizza.
