Grilled Enchilada & Brussels Sprout Pizzas {Giveaway Closed}

August 15, 2011 64 comments Article Lunch, Main Course, Meat, Recipes, Vegetables

Once the sun begins to set and the cool air begins to blow in, I just can’t resist going outside. Grilling may seem miserable on a hot summer day sometimes, but it is perfect for cool summer evenings. I have definitely been noticing the temperature drop little by little in the last week. I think the heat of summer might finally be wearing down (I don’t want to jinx it though!). This week I was also lucky enough to receive a reserve kit of Muir Glen Organic Tomatoes to try out- see below for your chance to win one too! Muir Glen caught my eye when I heard that, unlike other canned tomatoes, their tomatoes are all taken from their vines to their cans within EIGHT hours! That is pretty impressive.

After seeing that I had pizza sauce in my kit, I decided I would make pizza on the grill. Grilled pizza has a different look and taste to it than baked pizza because the dough puffs up on the grill, rather than staying relatively flat. I decided to turn my Muir Glen pizza sauce into an enchilada sauce and make an enchilada pizza. Kelcey’s little sister didn’t realize that I was making an enchilada pizza and shouted, “This tastes like an enchilada!” after I gave her a piece; I guess that means I got the results I wanted haha.

Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 raw pizza crust
  • 1/4 cup & 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 8 oz can Muir Glen Organic pizza sauce
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tbsp dried onion
  • 1/2 lb ground chorizo cooked
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 red pepper sliced
  • 1/2 jalapeno sliced
  • 1/2 8 oz can Muir Glenn fire-roasted tomatoes (drained)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 3 tbsp cotjia cheese Mexican crumbling cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a large saucepan, heat the pizza sauce over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, chili powder, garlic and dried onion; stir, bring to a boil, then remove from heat and set aside.
  • Heat the oven to medium-high heat. On a well floured surface, roll out pizza dough into a 9x11-inch rectangle.
  • Drizzle the dough with 1 tbsp olive oil, lay olive oil side up directly onto the grill and let cook until puffed up (about 3 minutes).
  • Flip dough and top with enchilada sauce. Layer with spinach, onions, red peppers, jalapenos, fire-roasted tomatoes and chorizo.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and top with cheddar and cojita cheeses, close the grill and let cook until cheese is melted (about 3-5 minutes).
Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!

Of course, we had to make a veggie pizza for my other roommates as well. Kelcey and I came up with a brussels sprouts and caramelized onion pizza with a lemon olive oil sauce instead of tomato. We used a cheese called parrano, which is a blend of gouda and parmesan cheese. You can use gouda and parmesan separately if you can’t find this. Both pizzas were absolutely amazing; I am so happy to have new pizza ideas!

Brussels Sprout & Caramelized Onion Pizza
Serves 4

  • 1 raw pizza crust
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 1 medium yellow onion (sliced)
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 lb brussels sprouts (peeled & roughly chopped)
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1tsp black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup parrano cheese (or gouda & parmesan)

Directions:

  1. Heat grill to medium-high heat and heat oven to 400F.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter and cook onions on low until soft and caramelized (about 15 minutes). Add the minced garlic, balsamic and lemon juice; stir well and remove from heat.
  3. Meanwhile, lay out the brussels sprouts on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, crushed red pepper and black pepper. Bake at 400F until crispy (about 15 minutes).
  4. On a well floured surface, roll out pizza dough into a 9×11-inch rectangle.
  5. Drizzle the dough with 1 tbsp olive oil, lay olive oil side up directly onto the grill and let cook until puffed up (about 3 minutes).
  6. Flip dough and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Spread the onion mixture and brussels sprouts over the pizza and sprinkle with cheese.
  7. Close the grill, reduce heat to medium-low and let the pizza cook until the cheese is melted (about 3-5 minutes).

    I would have to say pizza sauce would be the first item used. Pizza is an obsession at my house. I have some artichoke hearts ready to be used if I win…plus a fantastic recipe for homemade pizza dough that i would use.

  • Pretend Chef August 17, 2011 at 6:53 am -

    Everyone in my household would agree on the pizza sauce being used first. This looks like a great recipe to try. Looks so delicious. My mouth is watering from the photo. Yummy!

  • Angie @ Bigbearswife August 17, 2011 at 7:30 am -

    First I would make pasta sauce, then use the ketchup for veggie burgers (and maybe some ‘bad for you’ fries). And grilled pizza to round things out.

  • Mercedes August 18, 2011 at 7:25 am -

    Both of these pizzas look so delis! I would try to recreate your enchilada pizza, but in the oven!

  • Kristen August 18, 2011 at 7:58 am -

    I would make some tomato-miso sauce with the canned tomatoes. Fire-roasted tomatoes are the best- great giveaway!
