Shortcut chicken fajita pizza

Leftover chicken fajitas and Mexican toppings are a fun way to switch up your usual pizza night.

Instead of the usual toppings, we created this Mexican-inspired pizza, replacing salsa for the sauce and topping it off with leftover fajita chicken and vegetables from a previous dinner, cheddar cheese and all of our favorite Mexican food toppings. Store-bought pizza dough cuts prep time down and makes this a perfect weeknight meal.
