Mexican Polenta Pizza: A delightful fusion of polenta and pizza, topped with bold Mexican flavors.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 3 cups skim milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 ounces lean ground beef
  • 1 1/2 cup red chile sauce (such as Herdez® Red Guajillo Chile Mexican Cooking Sauce)
  • 1 cup Mexican shredded cheese, plus more for sprinkling on top
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 2  tablespoons sliced black olives, or to taste (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream, or to taste (optional)
Instructions:
  • In a medium saucepan, combine cornmeal, milk, and salt. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens enough to pull away from the pan's sides for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, mix in olive oil, and spread the mixture on a greased cookie sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.
  • Preheat the oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place the polenta crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook ground beef until browned and crumbly, stirring occasionally for 5-7 minutes. Pour in red chile sauce and simmer until thickened for about 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle cheese over the meat sauce on top of the polenta crust. Place back in the oven and bake until cheese is gooey and melted, around 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Garnish with lettuce, tomato, black olives, and sour cream. Add more shredded cheese, if preferred.
