INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Roll out pizza dough until it is flat and smoothed out (I used a non-stick sheet tray and formed the flatbread into that shape for baking). Place dough in oven for 3-4 minutes until it has firmed up. Brush dough with olive oil.
2. Top with pepper jack, chicken, red pepper and bacon. Place back into oven and cook for another 10-12 minutes until dough is completely cooked and golden brown.
3. Mix together ranch dressing and chipotle seasoning, start off with a small teaspoon and add more as you go depending on how spicy you want it. (I used Spice Islands brand). Top pizza with chopped cilantro and avocado pieces. Drizzle sauce on top.
