I've been really hitting up the cooking blogs lately! I decided a few weeks ago to try and go meatless at least one night per week. I figure if I make it delicious, even the hubs won't complain. But then, hey, if he's complaining about having a plate of food set down in front of him upon walking in the door from work...well let's just hope he likes PBJ's. I stumbled upon a post for this pizza made on a pita. It included avocados, which admittedly seemed kind of weird. But, since I had some going south in my fridge, I decided to give it a try. I will totally cop to the fact that my laziness in not wanting to go to the store for something else was what nudged me to make these. I made a few modifications to this recipe; I added some red onion to my pizzas and topped them with crushed red pepper and a little more cilantro after they came out of the oven. I doubled the sauce recipe and used lots more jalapeno that it called for and less oil. I had lots of leftover sauce and I plan to use it on taco salads for another dinner. I can best describe the sauce as a cilantro pesto. It's so pretty and fresh! These made for an easy and delicious weeknight supper, but would just as easily be perfect at a party. I think they would taste great at room temperature so you wouldn't have to serve them straight from the oven (not that I'd know since I pretty much inhaled mine as soon as it was done).
Oh, and for the record, the hubs really liked these too. He dodged the PBJ bullet!
