Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 500°F with a pizza stone inside for at least 30 minutes to mimic a wood-fired oven’s high heat.
Step 2: Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce evenly over 1 lb hand-stretched pizza dough on a floured surface.
Step 3: In a skillet over medium heat, cook 6 oz Mexican chorizo, removed from casing, breaking it up with a spoon until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Step 4: Scatter 8 oz shredded Oaxaca cheese evenly over the sauce, then top with cooked chorizo.
Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, and 1/2 tsp salt over the pizza.
Step 6: Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil around the edges of the dough.
Step 7: Transfer the pizza to the preheated stone and bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Step 8: Remove from oven, let rest for 2 minutes, slice, and serve warm.
