Grilled Chorizo, Goat Cheese, and Watercress Pita Pizzas

These chorizo and goat's cheese pita pizzas offer a sophisticated twist on a quick midweek meal. The combination of spicy, savoury chorizo and tangy goat’s cheese creates a rich flavour profile that is perfectly balanced by the peppery crunch of fresh watercress. By using pita breads as a base, you achieve a wonderfully crisp texture without the fuss of kneading dough, making this an ideal recipe for an alfresco lunch or a speedy evening treat.

As a high-protein dish, these pizzas are as satisfying as they are delicious. The addition of vibrant mini sweet peppers adds a touch of sweetness and colour, while the final flourish of raw watercress keeps the dish feeling light and seasonal. Serve these at your next barbecue for a simple yet impressive alternative to traditional grilled fare.

How to make Grilled Chorizo, Goat Cheese, and Watercress Pita Pizzas

Lightly brush 1 side of each pita bread with oil. Grill, oiled side down, until bottom is just crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to work surface, grilled side up. Cover each pita bread with cheese mixture, chorizo, and several sweet pepper rings, dividing equally.
