A pizza crust can be a blank canvas for whatever dish you want to “paint” onto it. This Mexican breakfast pizza is a great example. We took a store-bought thin crush crust and just topped it with some of our favorite breakfast ingredients. It made for the perfect, very quick-to-make breakfast-for-dinner meal.
Serve this Mexican breakfast pizza with a big ole bottle of Cholula hot sauce on the table. Nothing goes better with breakfast than a few good shakes of hot sauce. Cholula is one of my favorites. It’s not too spicy and it has a fantastic pepper flavor.
I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.
For dinner, serve up some of my tortilla pizzas.
