Mexican Pizza Recipe – my Napoli inspired pizza dough gets topped with super flavorful chorizo sausage making the best homemade Mexican pizza you’re ever taste!
MEXICAN PIZZA
This Mexican Pizza featuring chorizo sausage is dedicated to my husband Fred who has really stepped up his culinary game lately. I personally love Mexican food and just started to get my husband to come around to love it too. He is a very picky eater and really only eats pizza and pasta. Those are his favorite things.
Most nights I appease him by either making homemade pizza with sausage and cheese or spaghetti and meatballs. That’s all he truly enjoys, and I make sure that he gets one of those items at least once a week. More recently, he started branching out and trying new foods. Last summer, he happily embraced Mexican and took me to several local Mexican restaurants in the Chicagoland area.
CHORIZO PIZZA
Fred has even started letting me make tacos and fajitas at home too. I thought it would be cool to add a Mexican flair to his favorite meal: pizza. Then, my friend Leslie gave me the idea of adding chorizo. Mexican and Italian cuisine really are a match made in heaven.
HOW TO MAKE MEXICAN PIZZA
I started with my Napoli inspired Pizza Dough because it is my favorite easy dough to make, and it comes together so quickly. Next, I spiced up a regular pizza sauce with some taco seasoning and topped that with browned taco seasoned ground turkey and chorizo. The Mexican flair from that alone was delish. Lastly, I finished the pizza with a Mexican blend of shredded cheeses, diced tomatoes, black olive slices and green onions. It came out bubbly and delicious and full of Mexican flavor!!
This Mexican Pizza will be going in our rotation of Friday homemade pizza nights for sure. It’s a great way to get my husband to try new flavors without going too far left.

This is one tasty sounding and looking pizza!! I must try this on one of our pizza nights. My family will love it! 🙂
Hooray! Thanks so much Jocelyn! I love family pizza night!
That pizza looks really tasty Jocelyn – something I’ll definitely try. I can’t imagine cooking for a picky eater though – must be kinda rough on a food blogger 🙂
It is a bit difficult at times but it is fun experimenting and trying new things even if they fail haha. Thanks Donalyn!
Oooo I love a good Mexican Pizza and this one looks amazing!!
Thanks so much Julie!!!! I do too!
What a great looking pizza, Jocelyn! Having that would just make my Friday night. 🙂
Thanks so much Marcie! I think this would make my night tonight too!
Yum – this pizza looks divine. You can never go wrong with extra cheese in my book!
Oh yeah! Extra cheese equals heaven.
Yum! I’m on a major jalapeno kick lately, so I’d definitely need to add some on top. 🙂 Looks great! Can’t wait to try it.
Thanks so much Allison!
Yum, I love pizza with twists! You can almost never go wrong with combining two of your favourite foods.
Indeed Jehan!!! I totally agree!
Wow, that must be a little challenging, Jocelyn, with you being a food blogger and all! Sounds like you manage just fine though! My hubby is a little picky at times, too. He doesn’t like things to be too rich or ‘weird’ and also likes a lot more meat than I do. Before I got married, I’d never imagined that we’d like eating different things!
P.S. The pizza looks delicious! I LOVE chorizo!
Wow gosh our husbands and their picky food habits haha. And I am just like you, love chorizo!!
I love Chorizo!! I try to use it with everything, and this looks delish!
Thanks so much Christina! Isn’t it fantastic?
We make pizza once a week here. Homemade all the way! This looks amazing!!
Thanks so much Nancy! We do too!
This looks divine! A Mexican pizza sounds amazing!

I don’t eat chorizo but woman, this looks great. Very vibrant. Great party hosting food!
Thanks so much Bren! This would be awesome for a party!

Wow thanks so much Chloe! It was definitely pretty darn close if you ask me!
