Ingredients
  

Pizza Base
  • 1/2 batch no-knead pizza dough or homemade dough
Main Toppings
  • 2 cups cheese mozzarella with Monterey Jack blend
  • 3/4 cup birria stew used as pizza sauce
  • 1 cup birria meat shredded beef or lamb
  • 1/3 cup white onion diced
  • 1 jalapeño sliced
Final Toppings & Dip

  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves minced
  • 1 jalapeño sliced, extra for garnish
  • 1 cup birria stew for dipping

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet or Pizza Stone

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to the highest setting. If available, preheat a pizza stone or baking steel.
  2. Stretch out pizza dough to your desired thickness. Spread a layer of cheese over the dough.
  3. Spoon birria stew evenly over the cheese. Top with shredded birria meat and jalapeños.
  4. Add another sprinkle of cheese over the toppings. Bake for 15 minutes until golden and crisp.
  5. Once baked, top with diced onions, cilantro, jalapeño slices. Serve with extra birria stew for dipping.

Notes

Start with cheese before stew to avoid a soggy crust. Customize toppings to your liking. Best enjoyed fresh, though leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated.
