Southwest Black Bean and Corn Pizza (my recipe)
This was a yummy pizza, and an easy meal to make while watching football.
Here's my recipe. The amounts of each ingredient are estimates, since I didn't measure, and you can add more or less of each as you prefer.
12" pizza crust, either store-bought or homemade - I used a store-bought thin crust.
Extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Tomato sauce
Fresh or dried cilantro
Cheese or dairy-free "cheese"
1/3 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
2/3 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 tomato, diced
8 green olives, diced small or chopped
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
Salsa and/or hot sauce
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Preheat oven to 425F (or as directed on packaging)
Brush the crust lightly with olive oil.
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the crust.
Sprinkle cilantro on top of sauce.
Add a thin layer of shredded cheese - I used lactose-free mozzarella on 'my' side of the pizza (foreground), and the other side has a blend of cheddar and monterey jack cheeses.
Combine the black beans, corn, tomato, olives, and pepper in a bowl or colander, then spoon onto pizza.
Sprinkle a little more cheese on top.
Cook pizza in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and crust starts to brown.
Add a dollop of salsa on top of each piece, and add red pepper flakes to taste.
