Ingredients
  

1 large whole wheat pizza crust

1 cup fresh summer salsa (diced tomatoes, corn, red onion, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice)

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup crumbled queso fresco

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

1 small avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Lime wedges for serving

Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

    Prepare the Crust: Roll out the whole wheat pizza crust on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.

      Mix the Spices: In a small bowl, combine the ground cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Set aside.

        Add Salsa: Spread a generous layer of the fresh summer salsa evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

          Sprinkle Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and crumbled queso fresco on top of the salsa.

            Season the Pizza: Dust the spice mix you prepared earlier over the cheese for extra flavor.

              Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.

                Add Avocado: Remove the pizza from the oven and top with sliced avocado immediately while it’s still hot.

                  Garnish: Drizzle a little olive oil on top and garnish with fresh cilantro. Cut the pizza into wedges.

                    Serve: Serve with lime wedges on the side for drizzling over the pizza, and enjoy your vibrant Summer Salsa Pizza Wedges!
