Tex-Mex Chorizo Queso Fundido BBQ Pizza with Tequila Splash 

Ingredients

  • 1 store-bought pizza dough ball (or 1 large flatbread/naan as shortcut)
  • 4 tbsp BBQ sauce
  • 150 g cooking chorizo or spicy sausage finely diced
  • 200 g monterey Jack or smoked cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 tbsp chopped pickled jalapeños
  • 2 spring onions
  • 1 splash tequila or mezcal (optional but banging)
  • olive oil
  • 1 small handful fresh coriander and/or hot honey to garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1 of 6
1
Preheat the BBQ: Preheat the grill to 200°c . Grill the spring onions whole until blistered and soft, then chop finely.
2
Make the chorizo queso base: In a small pan or skillet on the BBQ, cook the diced chorizo until crisp and the oil releases. Add cheese, jalapeños, and charred onions. Stir and let it melt into a gooey queso. Add a splash of tequila or mezcal and stir through just before removing from heat.
3
Raise the heat: Crank the heat to 250°C with the lid down. Set up the pizza stone attachment and allow to heat through.
4
Assemble the pizza: Roll out the dough to a pizza base. Spread the base with a layer of BBQ sauce, then spread the hot chorizo queso mix evenly over the top.
5
Grill it: Slide the pizza onto the pizza stone. Cook for 8–10 minutes with the lid down, rotating if needed, until the base is crisp and bubbling.
6
Finish & serve: Sprinkle with chopped coriander and hot honey. Slice and serve immediately—cheese pulls are mandatory.
