Meatless Mexican Pizza

In honor of Cinco De Mayo lets throw a Mexican twist on pizza!

This recipe is Meatless, but feel free to add any form of protein you would like.

What you will need: Pizza dough (store bought or homemade), can of refried beans, can of black beans, can of green chilies, chili power, cumin, cilantro, corn meal, red onions, bell pepper, shredded cheese, olive oil, salt & pepper.


Preheat your oven (425 degree's for the store bought dough). 
Start by sautéing your red onions & bell peppers with oil, salt, pepper, chili powder & cumin. Cook for 3-5 minutes.


Add the can of green chilies and a handful of chopped cilantro. Stir in half the can of black beans. Cook for 2-3 minutes, remove from heat & reserve. 


Sprinkle your baking sheet with corn meal. 
**This step is optional, I prefer the corn meal for added texture to the crust.

Roll and form your dough.


Bake the dough half way, about 10 minutes. Bring it out and smooth the refried beans over the top. Make sure you season with salt and pepper. 

Spread the onion & black bean mixture over the top.


Top with your shredded cheese and finish in the oven for another 10 minutes. Garnish the pizza with torn cilantro & if desired a squeeze of fresh lime juice!


Slice & Serve! 

Toppings such as sour cream, salsa or sliced avocado's are great additions. 




Enjoy & Always Cook with Love!
