Ingredients

• Whole wheat pizza dough - 200 grams
• Poblano peppers - 2 medium, sliced
• Onion - 1 medium, thinly sliced
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Oaxaca cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime - 1, juiced
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced poblano peppers and onion, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
4. Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Spread the sautéed poblano and onion mixture evenly over the dough.
6. Sprinkle the shredded Oaxaca cheese generously on top of the vegetables.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove the pizza from the oven, drizzle with lime juice, and garnish with chopped cilantro before slicing and serving.
