One of the happy meals in my memory is the “Fresh Jalapeno Burn” pizza that we used to get from our favorite take n bake. We considered it a wonderful indulgence — until I clued in that I could do it myself! HA!
The Jalapeno Burn
your favorite pizza dough recipe or mine $.50 for three large pies
olive oil $.25

Preheat oven to 475 °. Spread your dough on a greased pizza pan sprinkled with corn meal. Drizzle 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil over the dough. Spread evenly. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper. Sprinkle a small handful of cheese. Then layer the chicken, red onion, black olives, tomato, and jalapeno. Sprinkle with more mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Sprinkle over cilantro. Bake in preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, checking that crust is crisping, but top is not burning.
This is spicy! Enjoy! $10.89 for three LARGE pizzas! You can’t beat that. For more budget meals, visit $5 Dinners.
