Mexican Pizza with Chorizo, Monterey Jack Cheese and Sun-Dri Preparation

Tortillas form the crust of these layered pizzas, which are an irresistible hors doeuvre. Pour sangria throughout the party. *A fresh green chili, often called a pasilla, available at Latin American markets and some supermarkets. Place tomatoes in medium bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover; steep until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain tomatoes. Slice tomatoes into matchstick-size strips and place in small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons oil and vinegar; toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Tomatoes can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.) Line baking pan with paper towels. Cook chorizo in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until brown, crumbling with back of fork, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer chorizo to prepared baking pan to drain. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly oil baking sheet. Drain tomatoes, reserving vinaigrette. Sprinkle garlic over 2 tortillas. Sprinkle 1/4 of cheese, 1/4 of chorizo, 1/4 of sun-dried tomatoes, 1 teaspoon pine nuts and 1 teaspoon oregano atop each. Place remaining 2 tortillas atop pizzas. Heat 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon oil in large skillet over medium heat. Place 1 pizza in skillet and cook until golden brown on bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn pizza, bottom side up, onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining oil and pizza. Sprinkle remaining cheese, chorizo and sun-dried tomatoes equally atop pizzas. Place 6 poblano chili rings atop each pizza. Brush reserved vinaigrette over chili rings. Sprinkle remaining 2 teaspoons pine nuts over pizzas. Bake pizzas until bottoms are brown and cheese melts, about 10 minutes. Transfer pizzas to cutting board. Cut each pizza into 12 wedges and serve. 12 Servings Bon App?tit December 1996 Posted to recipelu-digest by Sandy on Feb 24, 1998
