Chorizo and Roasted Poblano Pizza with Pickled Red Onions
This tasty flavor combination may seem familiar. Chorizo and Roasted Poblano Pizza with Pickled Red Onions delivers on flavor: smoky heat from COLUMBUS® Chorizo and roasted poblano peppers, combined with mild cojita cheese and tangy pickled red onions and fresh cilantro reminiscent of a stuffed pepper. Reimagined as pizza, this equally irresistible recipe comes together quickly if you opt for prepared pizza dough.
