This Chipotle Pizza with Pineapple and Onion is sweet and spicy. It's done in about 30 minutes, so it's perfect for a weeknight meal.
Pineapple and onion pizza is my favorite go-to pizza, so I thought I would turn it into my favorite flavor combination - sweet and spicy. This pizza is sweet, spicy, and smoky.
If you've never had chipotle in adobo sauce, they are smoked jalapeños in a spiced tomato sauce. Chipotle peppers are hotter than jalapeños because they are from fully-ripened jalapeños. As chiles ripen, the capsaicin (which cause their heat) increases. Chipotle peppers have a smoky taste.
This is one of the easiest pizza recipes that you can make. You just mix chipotle in adobo sauce with some marinara sauce to spread on pizza crust, and top it with chopped pineapple and onion.
I used an easy vegan gluten free pizza crust, which literally takes minutes to make, with no waiting time for it to rise.
