My husband and I recently ordered the carne asada pizza from California Pizza Kitchen while on vacation. We loved it and I set out to try to recreate it at home. Here's what I came up with.
pizza dough
1/2 c cilantro pesto
2 mild chili peppers
1/2 an onion, sliced
1/2 lb carne asada steak
1 c grated mozzarella cheese
1 c grated monterrey jack cheese
cilantro, for garnish
olive oil
corn meal
green taco sauce
Prepare pizza dough. While it is rising, prepare your chilis. Half, remove seeds, and place chilis on pan. Drizzle with olive oil and broil in oven until roasted on top. Cool and then slice.
Grill your steak, seasoning with carne asada seasoning. Be careful not to overcook (the thin slices can get tough quickly and since you'll be cooking it on your pizza in the oven there is no need to worry about under cooking). Slice steak.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Drizzle pizza stone or pan with olive oil and sprinkle with corn meal. Form dough into pizza round on pan. Spread cilantro pesto over uncooked dough.
Sprinkle on cheeses and add sliced onions, chilis, steak, and cilantro. 
Cook for about 17 minutes or until outer crust is golden brown. Allow to cool before slicing.
Dip in green taco sauce if desired.
