Taco Pizza

  • 6

Ingredients

  • premade pizza dough (can buy at Trader Joes)
  • 1 can (14 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning
  • 2 cups grated cheese (Monterey Jack and/or Cheddar)
  • 1 bag shredded lettuce
  • 2 whole ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 cups chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cups sour cream
  • 3 Tbsp hot sauce (or more! I used Frank's Red Hot)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 500F. Let the oven heat for 20-30 minutes.

In a small sauce pan, stir together the black beans, salsa and seasoning. Warm over medium-low heat and use a potato masher to mash the beans to desired texture. Continue heating beans, stirring occasionally, until no longer runny (should be the texture of refried beans). Set aside.

With hands, spread pizza dough on an oiled baking sheet, making sure it’s relatively thin. Spread layer of bean mixture all over pizza crust. Sprinkle grated cheese over the top. Place pan in the oven and bake for 9 to 12 minutes. Watch it to make sure crust doesn’t burn.

Mix together sour cream and hot sauce, adding enough hot sauce to make the mixture pourable. With a spoon (or you can put it in a pastry bag) drizzle mixture over finished pizza.

Cut into squares and serve immeidately with good quality salsa.
