Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1 cup
• Mozzarella cheese (shredded) - 1 cup
• Cream cheese - 90 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Chorizo (cooked and crumbled) - 100 grams
• Queso Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese (for topping) - 1 cup
• Fresh cilantro (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Sour cream - for serving
• Jalapeños (sliced) - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, egg, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and shape it into a round pizza crust, about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
5. While the crust is baking, cook the chorizo in a pan over medium heat until browned and crispy. Set aside.
6. Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the cooked chorizo evenly over it.
7. Top with queso Oaxaca or additional mozzarella cheese, and add sliced jalapeños if desired.
8. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with a dollop of sour cream.
