Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole-grain tortillas
- 1 cup Black beans (canned, rinsed, and drained)
- 1 cup Shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 piece Sliced avocado
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)

- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Lay the whole-grain tortillas on the baking sheet. Lightly brush each tortilla with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the tortillas.
Top each tortilla with an even layer of black beans, followed by shredded low-fat cheddar cheese.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
While the tortillas are baking, prepare the toppings: slice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
Remove the baked tortillas from the oven and let them cool for 1–2 minutes.
Top each pizza with fresh avocado slices, cherry tomato halves, red onion slices, and optional jalapeño slices.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Healthy Mexican Pizza!
