Corn, JalapeƱo and Bacon Pizza

Recipe Notes:
1. While I used naan bread for my pizza, because it is too easy and delicious not to, you could absolutely use any kind of pizza dough you would like. If you are making your own dough, or using a store bought ball of pizza dough, the recipe below will yield one large pizza instead of 2 naan (individual sized) pizzas.

2. I grilled my corn for this pizza, and just in case you are new to grilling, I’ve included instructions on how I grill corn in the notes section of the recipe below. Conversely, you can prepare your corn on the cob however you would like, or you can use frozen (defrosted) or canned corn.

3. If you don’t want your pizza to be spicy, make sure you remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeƱos before adding them to your pizza. All of the spiciness of a jalapeno lives in the seeds and ribs, so you can control the spiciness by removing all, some, or none of them.

4. Cotija is a Mexican cheese and can be found at most grocery stores in the specialty cheese section. If you can’t find it, feta is a good substitution!
I used Mexican Fiesta Microgreens on my pizza, but any variety of microgreens will do.

5. If microgreens aren’t your thing or you can’t find them, arugula would be equally as delicious!

6. While I didn’t add it to the pizza you see photographed here, I highly recommend you add slices of avocado to your pizza! The rich creaminess adds a wonderful texture and flavor. Just make sure you add the avocado AFTER the pizza has done baking.
