Chicken Mole Enchilada Pizza

Spicy and DELICIOUS with a nice thin crust. You can use a pre-made mole sauce if you like.









Crust:

2 cups corn masa harnia (Bob's Red Mill is Gluten and GMO free!)
1 cup plus 2 TB water
1/2 tsp salt


Sauce:(this made more than enough for the pizza, but it freezes beautifully for a quick pull out later!)
2 dried ancho chiles
1 cup hot water
1 TB olive oil
1 smallish onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 heaping TB smooth peanut butter
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp oregano
3 TB unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch of cinnamon
salt and pepper to taste



Toppings:

Amounts to taste, dont overload!!
Chicken Breast, cooked and shredded
Queso Añjeo*


1/4 cup Sour Cream
1-2 TB Milk
Green Onions
Fresh tomatoes
Cilantro

*If you cant find Queso Añjeo, fresh grated Parmesan(not the canned powder) or even dry feta may be a good substitute







First place the chiles in the hot water for 30 minutes to soften, drain and discard water










Crust:
Preheat oven to 400
Combine all ingredients and mix well.










Gather it into a ball and knead a few times until smooth. On a lightly greased pizza pan place your dough ball








GENTLY press it out to the edges of the pan, you can use a rolling pin gently if you like but I find hands, while slower, worked better. If you get a hole, just pinch a bit from a thicker part and fill it in.








Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, remove and allow to cool











Sauce:

Slice the chiles(remove seeds if you want less of a kick)







In a small pan over medium heat , heat the olive oil. Add onion and garlic and cook until tender.









Transfer the onions and chiles to a blender or food processor and add all remaining ingredients except the cocoa. Blend/process until smooth.
















Return it to the sauce pan, stir in cocoa, cover and simmer 10 minutes until nicely thickened. Adjust salt/pepper to taste.










Spread desired amount of sauce over the tortilla crust, top with shredded chicken and Queso...










Place in 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes until hot bubbly.









Mix sour cream with milk to a drizzle consistency.










Top hot pizza with fresh chopped tomatoes, green onions and cilantro. Drizzle sour cream over the top.

Slice and serve!
