1½ cups shredded mozzarella
2 tbs cream cheese
1 egg beaten
¾ cup almond flour
½ cup low carb salsa
1 cup low carb pork carnitas
¼ cup shredded cheese
½ avocado diced

Equipment

Wilton 2105-6804 Perfect Results Non-Stick Crisper, 14-Inch Pizza Pan, Silver

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
To make the dough, place the mozzarella and cream cheese in a medium microwaveable bowl.
Microwave for 1 minute, stir and then another cook for another 30 seconds. Stir in the beaten egg and almond flour.
Let the dough cool slightly, then knead until smooth. Add a little extra almond flour if the dough is too sticky, then knead again.
Press the dough into a 10" circle on a non-stick pizza pan. Use a fork to dock holes in the dough to help it cook evenly.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, until it starts to turn light golden brown all over.
Add a layer of low carb salsa, then add the carnitas over the salsa.
Sprinkle some shredded cheese over the top and return to the oven until the meat is warmed through and the cheese has melted.
Garnish with cilantro leaves, jalapeño slices, and diced avocado.
