• 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.


7. Bake 12-18 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
