Mexican Pizza with Chorizo*

"Who knew that you could combine zesty south-of-the-border ingredients with flavorful pizza ingredients on a flaky puff pastry and get such fabulous results?" This originally was a veggie recipe. I added the chorizo for more punch and pizazz!
(serves 4)

12 oz. chorizo Mexican/Spanish sausage*, crumbled, cooked, and drained well
1/2 of a 17.3 oz. package Pepperidge Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed
3/4 cup Prego Pizzaria Style Pizza Sauce
1/4 cup Pace Picante Sauce (mild or medium - your choice*)
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 3 oz.)
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese or pepper jack*
1/4 cup sliced pitted black olives

Heat the oven to 400. Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly flour surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 15x10" rectangle. Place the pastry onto a baking sheet. Prick the pastry thoroughly with a fork. Bake for 10 mins. or until the pastry is golden brown. Stir the pizza sauce and picante sauce in a small bowl. Spread the sauce mixture on the pastry to within 1/2" of the edge. Top with the cheeses, crumbed sausage, and sprinkle with olives. Bake for 5 more mins. or until cheese is melted. Serve with a big smile!!

It's never too late to start a "grateful" journal!

Love,
