Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams (for crust)
• Shredded mozzarella cheese - 150 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Almond flour - 40 grams
• Corn (cooked, kernels) - 100 grams
• Cotija cheese - 30 grams (crumbled)
• Sour cream - 50 grams
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons (chopped)
• Lime - 1 (juiced and zested)
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. Rinse and steam the cauliflower until tender, then let it cool slightly.
3. Once cooled, chop the cauliflower finely or pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice.
4. In a bowl, combine the processed cauliflower, 100 grams of mozzarella cheese, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to form a dough.
5. Spread the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming a round pizza shape about 1/2 inch thick.
6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
7. While the crust is baking, mix the cooked corn with lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, and half of the chopped cilantro in a bowl.
8. Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and spread the sour cream evenly over the top.
9. Sprinkle the corn mixture over the sour cream, then top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and crumbled Cotija cheese.
10. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
11. Remove from the oven, garnish with the remaining cilantro, and serve hot.
