Directions:

Bring water and guajillo peppers to a boil. Turn off heat and let peppers steep for 15 minutes. Put water, peppers, and remaining ingredients into a blender and blend until very smooth. Using a fine strainer, strain mixture into a large saucepan and boil for five minutes. Add pork and continue to simmer uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until meat is tender, adding water as necessary to keep pork barely covered. Let pork cool with sauce.

PIZZA DIRECTIONS

To prepare pizza, stretch dough to a 14-inch circle. Scatter pinches of Oaxaca cheese evenly over stretched dough. Scatter pork and sliced peppers evenly over pizza. Spoon Corn Requesón into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe evenly over top of pizza. Bake in a deck oven at 570°F for approximately 5-6 minutes. Remove from oven and crumble Cotija cheese evenly over pizza, followed by the micro cilantro. Pour lime juice into a spray bottle. Lightly mist the top of the pizza, including crust, before serving.
