Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 6 Put a large baking tray (or two!) in the oven to heat up (this will stop the pizza bottoms from going soggy!)
OvenPreheatStep 2
Cut the red pepper[s] in half (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon), then chop into small bite-sized pieces
Step 3
Peel and finely slice the shallot[s]
Step 4
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Step 5
Drain the sweetcorn
Step 6
Slice the green chilli[es] finely
Step 7
Grate the cheddar cheese
Step 8
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat
Step 9
Once hot, add the sliced shallot and chopped red pepper with the smoked paprika, ground cumin and a pinch of salt
Step 10
Cook for 2-3 min until the shallot has softened – this is your spicy pepper mixture
Step 11
Meanwhile, add the tomato paste to a bowl with the chopped garlic and a generous pinch of salt, pepper and sugar
Step 12
Add 5 tbsp [10 tbsp] cold water and stir it all together – this is your tomato sauce

Drain the mozzarella, then pat it dry with kitchen paper (squeeze as much liquid out as you can!)
Step 14
Tear the drained mozzarella into rough, bite-sized pieces
Step 15
Remove the heated tray[s] from the oven and add the pizza bases
Step 16
Divide the tomato sauce between the pizza bases and spread it evenly all over them with the back of a spoon
Step 17
Top with the drained sweetcorn, torn mozzarella and spicy pepper mixture
Step 18
Sprinkle the pizzas with the grated cheese then top with the sliced green chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!)
Step 19
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 10-12 min or until the cheese has melted and the bases are crisp – these are your veggie fajita pizzas
Step 20
While the pizzas are cooking, combine the chipotle paste (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) with the mayo and 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] cold water in a small bowl – this is your chipotle mayo
Step 21
Serve the veggie fajita pizzas with the chipotle mayo to the side
