Steps:

• Add the pizza sauce ingredients to a blender and blend on high until smooth. Pour the sauce into a small pot over medium-high heat and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat, place the lid halfway on (to prevent splatters), and simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until it has thickened.
• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Form the pizza dough into two crusts and place them on parchment paper-lined baking sheets
• Divide the pizza sauce between the 2 pizza doughs, spreading it almost to the edges.
• Top the pizzas with corn, black beans, red onion, and mozzarella cheese.
