The last time I made Mexican pizza was in undergrad. This pizza is far improved and incorporates garlic curls, zucchini, yellow squash, and onions from my CSA share. The flavors of the vegetables, cumin, salsa and cheese blends well to make a very savory pizza. (*Indicates Potomac Vegetable Farm (PVF) produce.
