Mexican Naan Pizza


 
I like it when I find easy recipes that are a bit different.  So when I found one for making pizza on naan bread, I decided to try it.  Indian and Mexican in one meal!  This can be made on a grill, but we don't have one, so I used the oven.  Some people like to cook outside when it is hot, but in my opinion, when it is hot, crank up the A/C and stay in where it is cool!  Lee doesn't like to use the grill, so I used an oven, but if you like to grill, use that!

 

Mexican Naan Pizza

2 pieces naan (found in the bakery/deli section of most grocery stores)
1/3 cup prepared salsa
1/2 cup shredded, roasted chicken  also from the deli, cooked whole, or a hunk of chicken breast
1/2 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese
1 ear of cooked corn, with the kernels cut off  This can also be grilled.  See above, no grill.
 thinly sliced onion

1/3 cup black beans, if you have them  I didn't.

diced avocado
chopped fresh cilantro

 

Heat the oven to 400°.  Warm the naan for about 3 minutes.  While it is warming, drain the salsa.

 

Remove the naan and spread the salsa on each piece.  Distribute the chicken, cheese, onions, corn and black beans, if you were smart enough to have them.

Return the naan to the oven.  Cook for about 7 minutes, or until the cheese is all melted. 

 

Remove and garnish with the avocado and cilantro.

  3. Since we live in an apt now, grilling is out for us as well, Rebecca. Thanks for the oven baking alternative for this recipe. Looks like a future one for us to try.
