RED ONION CHORIZO FLATBREAD

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon cornmeal

1 prepared flatbread

8 ounces chorizo sausage

1 medium red onion, sliced and divided

1/4 cup salsa or pico de gallo

6 ounces Mexican cheese blend, shredded

6 Ciliegine mozzarella balls (cherry size)

Fresh cilantro and oregano leaves for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400°. Brush olive oil on the bottom of flatbread. Sprinkle with cornmeal. Bake 5 minutes, then remove flatbread from oven and set aside. In an iron skillet over medium heat, cook chorizo sausage until browned, about 5 minutes. Add red onion pieces, reserving a few raw onion rings for topping. Cook, stirring often, until onions are softened, about 4 minutes. If using pico de gallo, Pulse in a mini chopper to create a sauce consistency. Spread salsa or pico de gallo over flatbread, stopping 1/2″ from the edge. Sprinkle Mexican cheese blend over sauce. Layer next with chorizo/onion mixture. Press Ciliegine mozzarella balls on top. Finish with the red onion rings. Bake 12-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Garnish with fresh cilantro and oregano leaves.

  2. Its artwork! Can we put it on the wall too? Lol I have to use normal onions, because red is the color of the communists, and here in Bavaria we are not allowed to use. Lol – Sorry, i am a little bit crazy today, Gail! 😉 Thank you for sharing this fantastic recipe. Have a beautiful weekend with yours. Stay save, but enjoy life! Michael
