Mexican street corn, or elotes, is a special treat south of the border. We've taken the sweet corn, cheese, and lime and placed it on the best vehicle for flavor we know, a pizza. Each bite will give you that sweet elotes delight but filling you up as an honest-to-gosh American pizza does. Fusion at its finest. Tip: To remove the core of a tomato, carefully making a circle with your knife around the stem, then remove circle.

In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, 2 tsp. lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
Place flatbreads, flat-side down, on prepared baking sheet and spread a thin layer of sour cream-lime mixture on each. Top evenly with corn mixture and Oaxacan cheese.Bake until golden brown and cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes.Meat lovers! If using protein, prepare while flatbreads bake. If using chicken, pat dry and cut into 1" pieces on a separate cutting board. Season all over with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Stir occasionally with 2 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes. If using shrimp, pat dry.
