Source of Recipe


Adapted from Hot Licks






List of Ingredients



• 1 small red onion, peeled and finely chopped
  
• 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
  
• 1 (16-oz.) bottle mild salsa
  
• 1/4 cup water
  
• 1/2 tsp milder hot sauce
  
• 1/2 tsp spicier hot sauce
  
• 2 (16-oz.) Boboli pizza crusts
  
• 4 Tbsp black-olive paste
  
• 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
  
• 3 cups packaged Mexican-blend grated cheese
  
• 1 ripe but firm avocado
  






Instructions



1. In a large nonstick skillet, saute the red onion and bell pepper in the olive oil over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the salsa and water; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
   
   
2. Divide the salsa in half. Add 1/2 teaspoon of a milder hot sauce to one batch, and 1/2 teaspoon of a spicier sauce to the other.
   
   
3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees (F). Place the crusts on baking sheets and spread each with one of the sauces. Dot each with 2 tablespoons black-olive paste, spreading gently. Top with tomato slices and cheese.
   
   
4. Place pizzas in oven and bake 5 minutes. Rotate baking sheets for even cooking, and continue baking 5 minutes. Remove the pizzas from the oven and cool 5 minutes.
   
   Peel, seed and coarsely dice the avocado. Sprinkle over the pizzas and cut into wedges.
