Prepare the Fajita Chicken:
- In a medium saucepan, cook together the chicken, fajita seasoning mix, and water. Let it simmer until the chicken is tender and flavorful. Set it aside.

Mix the Sour Cream and Salsa:
- In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and salsa. This tangy mixture will be the flavorful base of your pizza.

Prepare the Pizza Dough:

Add the Fajita Chicken:
