Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Black beans (cooked, rinsed, and drained)
- 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 piece Avocado (sliced)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
- to taste Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into your desired shape and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet or stone.
Brush the surface of the pizza dough with olive oil, ensuring an even coating.
In a small bowl, mix the black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, and salt to coat the ingredients in the spices.
Spread the seasoned black beans and corn mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the black bean and corn layer.
Add the thinly sliced red onion and halved cherry tomatoes on top of the cheese layer.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Scatter the chopped fresh cilantro over the pizza for a pop of flavor and color.
Top with slices of avocado just before serving, and add a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an optional tangy kick.
