Great recipe! I used tortilla shells for my pizza crust to cut down on the carbs. Used leftover buffalo chicken from Recipe #493751 I omitted the pizza sauce and just used our favorite BBQ sauce on each tortilla. I topped with the chicken, chihuahua cheese and blue cheese. Although I didn't go overboard with the gorgonzola, it was overpowering and I am a HUGE lover of blue cheese. So take care there! Less baking time because I did not use a pizza crust. All in all a real winner. Thanks for posting happynana.

You gave me a good recipe. I gave you a good picture. We'll call that a draw.

I've made this recipe several times and it's become my son's favorite meal. For the barbecue sauce, I use the "Chipotles in Adobo BBQ Sauce" found on this site (http://www.food.com/recipe/chipotles-in-adobo-bbq-sauce-368461). I've used store bought, but the barbecue sauce listed here makes the pizza even better. I don't add the blue cheese as I'm the only one in my family who likes it so I leave it out and use cheese's that I have on hand, mozzarella, cheddar, munster, etc. We also like it with red sliced onions over the top which kicks it up in flavor. I've also used the prepared pizza dough as suggested in the recipe and have used fresh pizza dough, both are good, but the fresh pizza dough in my opinion is better. The plus in using the prepared dough is that you can put it together quickly on a weeknight after work. This is now a staple in our family. Thank you happynana.

This is such a wonderful quick recipe to make, with outstanding flavour. I didn't add the crumbled blue cheese as we are not fans, apart from that I used all the other ingredients. I didn't really measure anything out just topped pizzas. Everyone was MMmmmmm and yum, this will definitely become a regular in our house. A great after work no fuss with great taste recipe. Thanks for sharing
