Southwest-style pizza
This delicious, spicy pizza is loaded with all the fixings – and it takes just minutes to get it into the oven.
When I go back to Detroit to visit the old ‘hood, I am always drawn to a little pizza shop called Jerusalem Pizza. Not sure where the name comes from, as there’s nothing Israeli about their pizza. Matter of fact, my favorite pizza there is called Mexican, and I’ve re-created it here for you. If you buy the thick pizza crusts and follow the recipe below, you’ll have an almost exact replica of Detroit’s Jerusalem Mexican pizza.
Now that’s a crazy mouthful. But so is this pizza. Try it, you’ll see what I mean.

- 1/2 cup cooked white beans
- 1/2 green pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 cup marinara
- 1 cup multi-grain tortilla chips, partially crushed
- 1 cup cheddar
