Mr. Haas's Pizza

I love pizza and Mexican food. Anytime I can find a way to put those two things together is magic. The following is a recipe I made this past week, and let me say that the creaminess of the avocados with the spiciness of the jalapeños and the juiciness of the fresh tomatoes...wow. I made one pizza thinking it would be enough to feed the two of us. I was wrong. We both felt disappointed that there wasn't more and I ended up sacrificing my third piece to feed the hungry man who lives with me.

It was light and fresh and absolutely delicious. Let me know what you think of it.
