If you're craving a tasty twist on pizza, this recipe combines bold chicken fajita flavors with a crispy cauliflower crust for a healthier spin. It's a fun and delicious way to enjoy all your favorite Mexican-inspired ingredients in one bite.
Start by heating your oven to 425°F and lightly grease two large baking sheets. In a big skillet over medium heat, warm up some vegetable oil, then toss in the onion and both peppers. Cook them until the onion turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and cook, stirring now and then, until it’s starting to brown—this should take around 7 to 10 minutes. Next, stir in the garlic and let it cook for another minute.
In a small bowl, mix together all the spices and flour—chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, coriander, and cumin. Sprinkle this seasoning blend over the chicken and veggies in the skillet, stirring well to coat everything. Pour in the water, give it a good stir, and let it simmer until the sauce thickens, which should take about 5 minutes.
Lay out your cauliflower crusts on the baking sheets, then evenly spread the chicken mixture over each one. Top with slices of tomato and a good handful of pepper jack cheese. Pop the pizzas into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crusts get a nice golden edge.
Right before serving, add some fresh avocado slices on top and squeeze a little lime juice over everything to brighten the flavors. Enjoy!
- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the cauliflower to keep the crust from becoming soggy.
- Pre-bake the crust until golden and firm before adding toppings to ensure it holds together well.
- Use a hot oven and a pizza stone or baking sheet to get a crispy crust.
This dish combines the bold flavors of chicken fajitas with a low-carb, vegetable-based crust. It’s a great way to enjoy pizza while sneaking in extra nutrients. Plus, it’s perfect for those looking for a gluten-free or keto-friendly meal.
Serve with a side of fresh guacamole or a simple green salad to balance the rich flavors. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top can add a nice touch. This pizza also pairs well with a cold, light beer or sparkling water with lime.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or a toaster oven to keep the crust crisp. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the crust soggy.
