Use your Birria Stew leftovers to create a rich and flavorful pizza. Add extra toppings like bacon and mushrooms to customize to your liking.

Ingredients

  • 8-10 Mushrooms, sliced
  • Cooked Bacon pieces, about 3/4 cup
  • 1 Prepared Pizza Dough
  • 1 cup grated Cheese: Mexican Blend, Mozzarella or Mexican Melting Cheese like Oaxaca
  • Leftover Birria Stew, about 1 cup
  • Chopped Fresh Cilantro, as garnish
  • Sliced Scallions, as garnish

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F with a pizza stone or steel.

2

In a pan over medium-high heat, cook the sliced mushrooms in water until the water evaporates.

3

Then add a little oil to sauté the mushrooms to get some browning.

4

Sprinkle the mushrooms with a pinch of kosher salt. Then add cooked bacon pieces just to heat it through. Then cut the heat and set the pan aside.

5

Roll, spin or stretch your prepared pizza dough on a lightly floured pizza peel.

6

Top the dough with grated cheese.

7

Top the cheese with the mushroom and bacon mixture.

8

Spoon the leftover Birria stew over the bacon and mushrooms. Top with another 1/2 cup or so of grated cheese.

9

Bake the pizza on the pizza stone or steel until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted, about 10-15 minutes.

When the pizza comes out of the oven, top with chopped fresh cilantro and sliced scallions, if you like.
