Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza dough or 2 pieces of naan bread

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup taco seasoning (adjust to taste)

1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

1/2 cup refried beans

1/2 cup salsa (mild or spicy, according to preference)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup black olives, sliced

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Sour cream for drizzling (optional)

1 avocado, sliced for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you’re using pizza dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness; skip this step if using naan as they are ready-to-use.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with taco seasoning until it is evenly coated. For added flavor, consider sautéing the seasoned chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, just until warmed through and fragrant.

      On your prepared pizza dough or naan, spread a thin layer of refried beans evenly across the surface, creating a solid base for your toppings.

        Next, pour the salsa over the refried beans, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.

          Layer the seasoned chicken over the salsa, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded Mexican blend cheese to cover the toppings.

            Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced black olives over the cheese, adding a burst of freshness and color.

              Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes. Look for the cheese to be melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust should turn golden brown.

                Once the pizza is finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about a minute. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice it into mini pizza-style wedges.

                  For the finishing touch, garnish with freshly chopped green onions and cilantro. If desired, drizzle sour cream over the top and serve with sliced avocado on the side for a creamy addition.
