Gluten Free: Coyote Pizza with Chorizo & Sour Cream
Now that we are on the subject of gluten-free meals, I'll share with you one of my favorites. Since I was little my mom has been making a recipe that we call "Coyote Pizza".
Starting with a layer of garlic pesto for the sauce, it is topped with crumbled chorizo, roasted red peppers, tomato slices and a sprinkle of feta cheese. On top, a scoop of sour cream. This pizza is one of my favorite ideas and there are really many ways you could take this and make it work. For our family Christmas day dinner we decided that snacks, pizza and beer tasting would suffice.
Having made a gluten-free dough from scratch before and tasting a little dry, we decided to go a more conventional route. Store-bought gluten-free pizza crusts. Sorry to disappoint, but they honestly tasted great! With this change of recipe, we decided to go for a traditional garlic butter sauce and add one of our favorite tangy toppings as well; banana peppers.
Gluten-Free Coyote Pizza
2 Gluten Free Pizza Crusts (I used Udis)
4 Tablespoons Melted Butter
2 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Salt
5 Chorizo Sausages, Removed From Casing
2 Vine Tomatoes, Sliced
1 Teaspoon Pepper
3/4 Cup Banana Peppers
2 Cups Feta Cheese
Sour Cream
Place a pizza stone in oven and preheat oven to 500 degrees. (If using a pizza pan instead, preheat oven to 400 and bake for 14-16 minutes.) In a small mixing bowl add melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk together until blended. Using a cooking brush, begin to coat each pizza crust with a thin layer of garlic butter and set aside. In a large skillet, add chorizo and heat over medium heat. Break apart meat until crumbled and browned. When fully cooked, place on a paper towel to drain grease. In the same pan, place thick slices of tomatoes. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper and heat over low heat. Warm on both sides. To top pizza, begin by adding crumbled chorizo over both crusts. Top with warmed tomato slices, banana peppers and a thick layer of feta cheese. Place pizzas, one at a time, onto hot pizza stone and bake for 8 minutes, making one 180 degrees turn, half-way-through. Remove pizza from oven and place onto a pizza pan to cool. Slice pizza and serve warm with an optional scoop of sour cream.
