Black Bean Pizza

I am always looking for filling, tasty, meat free pizzas. This recipe is the BOMB! I had to add freshly chopped cilantro, it was just begging for it. I didn't have an avocado, but it was great without it!

Black Bean Pizza

1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 c. thawed frozen corn kernels

4 plum tomatoes, chopped into ¼ inch pieces

½ c. chopped scallions

1 t. ground cumin

1 t. chili powder

1 avocado, diced into ¼ inch pieces

½ t. salt

¼ t. black pepper

16 oz pizza dough, regular or whole wheat (I used this recipe, it was perfect!)

1 c. shredded sharp cheddar

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. In medium bowl, combine the black beans, corn, tomatoes, scallions, cumin, chili powder, avocado, salt and black pepper; set aside.
3. Spread pizza dough out on baking pan or lightly floured surface if using preheated baking stone.
4. Top with black bean mixture, sprinkle with cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

   Make sure to rinse and drain your black beans very well.

   Gotta get some cilantro ready-this pizza was made for it!

   
   

   

   Pre-Cilantro, and...

   
   

   

   Post-Cilantro! YUM!

   
   

   
   

   

   Leftover slices freeze very well. Just reheat a slice in the oven at 350 for 15 or so minutes when you get a hankering for some filling, delicious black bean pizza!
