Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 2 pizza pies

Ingredients

For refried black beans:

  • 2 15 oz can black beans rinsed
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 serrano chili diced
  • 1/2 tsp hing
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp taco seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tbsps sour cream
  • 1 tbsp taco sauce of choice
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning
  • salt & pepper to taste

For Pizza:

  • 2 pizza crusts I used frozen pizza crusts from Trader Joe's
  • Refried Black Beans; recipe below
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella Cheese or more as desired
  • 1/2 cup Mexican Blend cheese or more as desired
  • 1 white onion diced
  • 2 tomatoes diced

For garnish:

  • 1/4 lettuce shredded
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 2-4 tbsps avocado ranch dressing or any dressing of choice
  • 1/4 cup southwestern tortilla strips crushed

Instructions

For black beans:

  1. Heat oil on medium heat, until oil begins to warm up. Add in minced garlic and serrano chili. Mix and allow to incorporate with oil for ~30 seconds. Next add in: hing, 1/2 tsp dried parsley, 1/2 tsp taco seasoning, chili powder, red pepper flakes and cumin. Allow all spices and oil to incorporate for ~1 min on low heat. Mix together. This allows the oil to absorb the flavors of the spices. Add in rinsed black beans and mix together. Next add in water and mix. Once ingredients are incorporated, using a potato masher, mash the beans. Mash until desired consistency. I like to thoroughly mash, until creamy and smooth. Next add in sour cream, taco sauce, garlic powder, dried oregano, 1/4 tsp dried parsley, 1 tsp taco seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. Mix together, until creamy and smooth. Use the masher one more time for an extra creamy result. Remove from heat and set aside.

For Pizza assembly:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F; or as per pizza crust directions
  2. Spread 1/4 cup at a time of mashed black beans onto pizza crust. Spread until beans just hit the edges of the crust. Next, generously sprinkle on mozzarella and Mexican blend shredded cheeses on top. Top with onions and tomatoes.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes; or until pizza crust crisps and cheese melts.
  4. Top with shredded lettuce, salsa, dressing and tortilla steps. Enjoy!
