Recipe

• 1 to make the taco seasoning: mix all of the ingredients in a bowl; set aside.
• 2 to prepare the pizza: mix 2 tablespoons of the taco seasoning and the canola oil in a shallow bowl; set aside. (note: cut back on the pepper should you desire less heat.).
• 3 pound the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to 1/4 inch thick. add the chicken to the bowl, turning to coat and marinate 30 minutes.
• 4 preheat a grill to medium high. grill the chicken until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. let cool, then cut into bite-size pieces.
• 5 divide the dough into 3 pieces. roll out each on a floured surface into an 8-inch round. brush with canola oil, sprinkle with taco seasoning and grill until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side; remove from the grill. (note: watch carefully, it may take less time than the recipe suggests. let it sit for only a minute or so on lower heat and then flip it; wait another minute and remove.).
• 6 mix the cheeses in a bowl, then sprinkle on the crusts and top with the chicken. return the pizzas to the grill, and cook until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
• 7 meanwhile, mix the avocado, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, red onion, and salt and pepper to taste. top the pizzas with the avocado mixture, salsa, sour cream and cilantro.
