Instructions
1
Prepare Cheese Dough
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella and the cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes until everything’s melted, then give it a good stir. Next, add the almond flour, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together until it forms a dough. Once it’s combined, add the beaten egg and mix it in well.
2
Roll Out Dough
Grab two large sheets of parchment paper and spray them lightly with non-stick spray. Put the dough on one sheet, then cover it with the other. Press or roll the dough out into a 10-inch circle. Peel off the top parchment and carefully transfer the bottom sheet with the dough onto a baking sheet. Use a fork to poke holes all over the dough—this stops it from puffing up in the oven.
3
Bake Crust and Cook Chorizo
Pop the crust in the oven and bake until the bottom starts to turn golden brown, about 12 to 17 minutes. While that’s baking, cook the chorizo in the microwave: place it in a bowl, cover with a paper towel, and heat in three one-minute bursts, stirring well after each.

Add toppings and bake
When the crust is ready, take it out and sprinkle half a cup of mozzarella cheese over it. Add the cooked chorizo, some salsa, and chopped onion on top. Return it to the oven for another 4 to 6 minutes, until the cheese melts. Finish by garnishing with fresh cilantro leaves. Enjoy!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This pizza is a perfect low-carb alternative that doesn’t sacrifice flavor. The spicy chorizo pairs wonderfully with the tangy salsa, while the fathead dough keeps it crispy and satisfying. It’s a great way to enjoy a classic comfort food without the guilt.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pizza with a fresh green salad or some steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. Adding a dollop of sour cream or guacamole on top can also enhance the flavors and add creaminess.
Storage Tips
Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or a skillet to keep the crust crispy rather than using a microwave. You can also freeze individual slices wrapped in parchment paper and foil for longer storage.
