Serve this Mexican pizza for dinner or a hearty snack. With two kinds of beans, salsa and cheese, this recipe is as healthy as it is tasty.

Make your own pizza dough in the bread machine or use a store-bought crust for this recipe.

Total Time: 33 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • homemade dough for one 12" to 14" pizza crust or one prepared pizza crust (such as Boboli)
  • 1 cup vegetarian refried beans
  • 1-1/2 cups salsa
  • 1 cup black beans
  • 8 oz. shredded Mexican cheese blend (cheddar, Monterey Jack) -- lowfat is okay
  • canned jalapeno peppers (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

  2. If using homemade pizza dough, roll out enough for a 12- to 14-inch pizza.

  3. Place pizza dough on a heavy baking sheet or pizza pan.

    Hint: If using homemade pizza dough, scatter a little cornmeal over the baking sheet before placing the dough on it, to prevent sticking.

  5. Scatter black beans evenly over the top.

  6. Top with cheese and a few jalapeno peppers, if using.

I was really doubtful, because salsa never goes over well in my house, but the beans are always a hit. I figured, maybe the cheese would hide it. Not sure which it was, but it worked and the kids gobbled them down. I made one without cheese to make it vegan. One of my sons actually asked if he could take this to school for lunch - that's how you know it's a hit!
