Vegetarian Mexican Pizza Recipes

VEGETARIAN MEXICAN PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C / 390F and prepare two baking trays lined with a silicone mat or baking paper.
• Heat oil in a small saucepan on medium heat, then add black beans and cook, stirring regularly, for a few minutes until soft. Pour the beans into a bowl and mash them up with a fork.
• Put pizza bases on the prepared trays and spread tomato paste over your pizza bases. Next, scatter toppings over the base in this order - onion, capsicum / bell pepper, black beans, corn and cheese.
• Place the trays in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden.

MEXICAN PIZZA RECIPE

Steps:

• First, prepare the dough using my Homemade Gluten-Free Pizza Crust Recipe (click for the recipe) or use a store-bought pizza crust. Check the recipe notes below for the tortilla version.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius) and line a large baking sheet with greased parchment paper.
• Transfer the Refried Beans to a bowl and add a splash of water to make the mixture spreadable. Add all spices (cumin, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper).
• Chop/dice/slice the onion, pepper, and jalapeño.
• Transfer the pizza crust onto the lined baking sheet and add a thick layer of refried beans.
• Put the veggies, jalapeño, and corn on top.
• Finally, add a generous layer of vegan cheese (I added my Vegan Cheese Sauce).
• Sprinkle with salt and bake the pizza in the oven until crispy, about 20 minutes. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Heat 1/2 can of refried beans in a small sauce pot over medium/low heat, until soft and stirrable. Add the salsa and reduce heat to low, stirring occasionally to keep the black beans from drying out.
• Place the pizza round on a baking pan. Spread the black bean sauce over the crust, leaving a finger-hold's width along the edges (an offset spatula or sandwich spreader works really well here).
• Sprinkle the vegetables over the sauce evenly, followed by the cheese.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes (or according to the instructions of your pizza crust - the toppings will be okay, whatever the length).
• Top with the cilantro, and serve immediately.
