Pizza is a weekly part of my meal plan for my family. My family also enjoys just about any Mexican dish I make them. I could pretty much suspect this Mexican Bean Pizza would be a home run with my family and it was. Â It was also very filling and my teenage boys were content after finishing their pizza. No one was saying, “I’m still hungry, what else can I have?”
It starts with a layer of cheese sandwiched between 2 tortillas. Then it is topped with a mixture of onion, green chilies and Bush’s black beans. Add some salsa, sour cream and/or guacamole and you are all set. I opted for no meat with this dish but you could always add some leftover grilled chicken, pulled pork or even chorizo. Get creative.
You could even cook these on your grill. Just heat your grill to medium. Oil pieces of heavy duty foil for each pizza instead of a baking sheet. It should take about the same amount of time to cook.

- Return to oven and bake until cheese melts, about 10 minutes. Serves 4.

Tried these tonight, topped with sour cream and guacamole. Did add a little cumin to the bean mixture, but they were tasty (and economical)!
