Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole bagels
- 1 cup black beans
- 0.5 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen)
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup pizza sauce or enchilada sauce
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup sliced black olives
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Slice each bagel in half horizontally to create 8 halves. Place the bagel halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce or enchilada sauce over the cut side of each bagel half, using about 1 to 2 tablespoons per bagel half.
In a small bowl, mix the black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, and salt to evenly coat the ingredients with the seasonings.
Spoon the seasoned black bean and corn mixture onto each bagel half, dividing it evenly between the 8 halves.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the bean and corn mixture on each bagel half, using about 2 to 3 tablespoons of cheese per bagel half.
Top with diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and green onions for added flavor and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bagels are slightly crisp on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Southwest Pizza Bagels!
