Turn the dough onto a lightly-floured work surface and roll into a 25cm diameter circle. Transfer to a greased baking tray then using your thumb and forefinger roll the edges of the pastry to form a rim. Cover and allow place in a warm spot to raise for 10 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan then stir-in the chicken, taco seasoning and cayenne pepper cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is nicely browned and cooked through. Stir-in the 5 tbsp taco sauce then take off the heat and set aside.
Spread the refried beans over the surface of the pizza base, ensuring you cover the entire surface, then spread the chicken over the top and drizzle with the remaining taco sauce.
Mix the cheeses and sprinkle over the top then place in an oven pre-heated to 200°C and bake for about 18 minutes, or until the edges of the base are golden and crisp.
Garnished with the fried tortilla strips then serve sliced into wedges and accompanied by a salad made from the shredded lettuce, mashed avocados and diced tomato.
