Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Place your pizza crust onto the baking sheet.
Spread 3/4 cup of red enchilada sauce over your crust, covering the entire surface.
Sprinkle 1 cup each of shredded mozzarella cheese and shredded Colby Jack cheese on top.
Layer 1 cup of shredded chicken, 1/4 cup of diced red onion, and 1/2 cup of corn kernels over the cheese.
Bake the flatbread for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the flatbread to cool for 5 minutes, then sprinkle 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro and 3 tablespoons of queso fresco on top.
In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, the juice of 1 lime, and 1/8 teaspoon of chili powder. Mix until smooth.
Slice the flatbread, drizzle the elote sauce over each piece, and serve warm.
