This is an awesome take on a great South-of-the-Border pizza. It’s got chicken, salsa, and pepper jack cheese on a nice thin buttery crust… what could go wrong… I’ve been working on this for an event this weekend, and I played about with it for several days, before I settled on the idea of making it in a tart pan. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
