For the Pizza:
- 1 lb ball of pizza dough

- 1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil
- 1½ cups fresh corn kernels
- 1½ cups grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions
For the Sauce:
- In a bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayo, grated garlic, lime zest and juice, spices, and salt.
- Taste and add more salt, as needed, to meet your taste.
For the Pizza:
- Preheat the oven to 475°F and place a pizza stone in the oven (if you don’t have a pizza stone, build your pizza on a baking sheet).
- Roll the dough out to ½-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Place a piece of parchment paper on a pizza peel and dust with flour.
- Place the rolled out dough onto the prepared parchment paper (or baking sheet).
- Brush the dough with the oil.
- Spread ¾ of the sauce over the surface of the pizza, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Save the remaining sauce for garnish later.
- Top the sauce with the corn, cheeses, pickled red onion, and jalapeno, spreading all the ingredients out evenly.
- Season the top of the pizza with the chili powder, using your fingers to evenly sprinkle it around. Next, sprinkle over the salt.
- Carefully transfer the parchment paper holding the pizza to the pizza stone in the oven. Alternatively, simply place the baking sheet with the pizza in the oven.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and browned in spots and the dough is crisp and golden on the bottom and around the edges. - Remove from the oven to cool slightly.
To Garnish and Serve:
- Thin the remaining sauce with a splash of water or milk so that it is a drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle the sauce over the pizza, using as much as you like.
- Serve the pizza with lime wedges for squeezing over top and some lightly chopped cilantro.
- Slice and serve while warm.
