Chorizo Pizza Bites - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) package tube chorizo (such as Cacique(R))
1 (14.5 ounce) can Hunt's(R) Diced Tomatoes, drained
1 pound fresh pizza dough
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided (or more to taste)
1 cup crumbled Cotija cheese, divided (or more to taste)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook, gently breaking it up after a couple minutes. Allow it to bubble, stirring infrequently, until most of the bubbles have stopped and sausage is firm. Remove from heat.
Place tomatoes into a bowl. Break into smaller pieces with the back of a fork, if desired.
Divide dough into 16 small pieces, flattening each into a small circle. Place each circle on prepared baking sheet. Divide tomatoes and then the chorizo among the circles. Top with shredded Monterey Jack and crumbled cotija cheese.
Bake in preheated oven until dough is golden brown and cheese has melted, 8 to 15 minutes. Check after 8 minutes to ensure chorizo is not burning.
Top with minced cilantro leaves.
