Ingredients

• Grilling spray
• Mexican crema
• 1 medium poblano pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 8 ounces fresh pork chorizo (Mexican Chorizo)
• 1 pkg (16 oz each) ready to bake pizza dough
• 1-1/2 cups finely crumbled queso fresco cheese
• 2 medium ears fresh sweet corn kernels
• 1 can (10 oz each) diced tomatoes & green chilies, drained

Directions

• Spray the cold grates of the gas grill with grilling spray. Preheat the grill to medium-low heat. 
• Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. 
• Add chorizo; cook for 5 minutes or until finely crumbled and browned, stirring occasionally. Drain and set aside.
• Spray the rimless baking sheet or pizza pan with grilling spray. 
• Roll dough in a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Carefully transfer the dough to a baking sheet and then directly onto grill grates. 
• Grill dough until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side. Grill poblano pepper and corn until charred, about 10 minutes, turning frequently.
• Cut corn off cobs; chop pepper into small strips. 
• Top grilled crust with chorizo, cheese, drained tomatoes, corn, and pepper. Grill pizza until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes, rotating pizza if needed for even heating. Sprinkle with cilantro. 
• Cut into 6 slices. Serve with crema, if desired.
