Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.

  6. Top the pizza with the sliced red onion, bell peppers, corn kernels, and jalapeño slices.

  7. Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

  9. Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly.

  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before slicing and serving.
