For a long time now, I've been dreaming of guacamole on pizza. I've done the meats, seafood, and vegetables, the spicy and mild, the thick, crust-crumbling toppings and the less-is-more toppings, and I've even subbed pestos for tomato sauce, but I never got around to the other creamy green. A lot of this had to do with price -- I didn't want to spend a lot, or potentially waste the delicious avocado, on a pizza that might not turn out well. But then I saw a guac-centric pizza at a restaurant last week, and I rue my hemming and hawing.
If you love pizza, and you love Central American dishes, you must try fusing the two. The guacamole offers a great twist on the classic tomato sauce, and it teams well with sauteed veggies, pork (Cuban-style!), and a nice sprinkling of cilantro. It's like a larger and more diverse taco, and the tomato doesn't even have to be forgotten. Rather than the sauce, try adding some tomatoes broiled with spicy seasoning, or even a little bit of salsa.
Just like a towering pile of nachos, the South of the Border pizza is up for almost anything.

Is it because pizza is the ultimate recession food?

Honestly, writing about both movies and food, I've often seen a day's worth of posts take a theme without me intending to. But at least where I'm concerned, there shouldn't be more pizza for a while.
