It’s time once again for the monthly Secret Recipe Club reveal. Want to know more about SRC? You can find out all about it here.
Previous recipes I’ve made for SRC include: Chocolate Brownie Oatmeal Cookies, (Mini) Chicken Taco Salads, Bacon & Feta Pasta, Bacon Jalapeno Corn Chowder, Cheesy Penne with Spinach and Artichokes, Cookies in a Jar, Creme Brulee Cheesecake Bars
This month my assignment was Cafe Lynnylu. Lynne’s blog is full of two of her favorite things – stunning photography and delicious recipes. Trying to decide what to make was nearly impossible, I had nearly a whole notebook page full of options – Citrus Chile Shrimp, Queso Fundido, Caramel Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Grilled Bread with Mediterranean Chopped Salad. And the list went on.
I love pizza and Mexican food, so I ended up deciding on Southwestern Pizza. This was the way to go. Lynne’s recipe includes the homemade crust recipe that she uses, my local Meijer store has a fabulous frozen pizza dough so I used that instead. I also added chicken because I had it on hand, but this would be just as delicious without it. And for the record, avocado on pizza is AMAZING!
This pizza came together quickly and we loved it. Thanks, Lynne, for introducing me to such a fabulous new pizza!

Yum! We are having pizza for dinner and I wasn’t sure what kind exactly. This one just made the short list! Looks great!
That pizza looks delicious – what a great combination for the sauce, and the toppings.. oohh.
This sounds like MY kind of pizza! Perfect flavors! I’ll have to try this on a gluten free crust, thanks!
It looks absolutely addictive 🙂
All the best,

I love pizza. I love unique pizza ideas. I love your pizza. =) Great being a part of SRC with you. Would love you to stop by and check out my Mango Avocado Salsa from my assigned blogger, Jeanette’s Healthy Living. =)
Oh my gosh, we love pizza and I love trying out new recipes (besides the traditional marinara sauce). So this is definitely one I will have to try. How do I join the SRC?

Yum, this pizza looks so tasty! One of my favorite things about making homemade pizza is that I can get really creative with the toppings, and these ones sound just fantastic! 🙂
Becca, thanks so much for the kind words regarding my blog and thanks for making my favorite pizza of all time! I like that you used a frozen pizza dough and the chicken! Fabulous!
I like it with the chicken. This sounds really good. nice post!
I love the flavours on this pizza. One thing I’d never have thought of putting on pizza is avocado as I’ve never eaten it cooked before but it must add a lovely creaminess.
My kids would love this pizza topping. Great pick for SRC!
This pizza would make my husbands night. I have to make this. Great pick.
Want! This sounds amazing. I’m pinning because I need to make this. Great SRC pick!
My husband would love this! Awesome recipes and great photos!
Oh this pizza looks so so good! I hardly ever make homemade pizza. This inspires me to try.

Fun! I love the idea of cumin-flavored anything, so I might have to try that on the next batch of Mexican Pizzas I make.
Yummo! I love the Tex-Mex twist here. Great idea to add chicken!
