Skinny black bean and veggie Mexican pizza

INGREDIENTS

Mexican pizza;
• 8 large (7-inch) corn tortillas (more if you're using smaller tortillas)
• 2 14.5-ounce cans organic refried black beans (I use the Trader Joe's kind that has jalapeños
in it)
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 2 teaspoon ground cumin
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 14.5-ounce can whole black olives, sliced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
• ½ bunch green onions, sliced
• ¾ cup shredded light monterey jack cheese
• Avocado cream, to taste

Avocado cream
Ingredients;

• 1 ripe avocado
• ½ cup greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed
• lemon juice
• 1 large clove garlic
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste.

INSTRUCTIONS
Mexican pizza
1. Preheat the oven to 400° F with a pizza stone
(or a large baking sheet) inside.
2. Working in batches, lay as many tortillas out
as possible on the pizza stone without
overlapping and bake for 10 minutes, or until
just crispy. Repeat until all tortillas are
crispy.
3. Meanwhile, heat the black beans, paprika,
cumin, and cayenne over medium heat until
smooth and pliable (it doesn't need to be
heated all the way through, just enough to
make it easy to spread).
4. Divide the black beans among the crispy
tortillas (about ⅓ cup per tortilla), and use a
rubber spatula to spread the beans out evenly
to the edges.
5. Evenly the olives, red onion, tomatoes, and
bell pepper among the tortillas.
6. Sprinkle 1.5 tablespoons of shredded cheese
over the top of each pizza.
7. Bake the pizzas for about 10 minutes, or until
the cheese is melted and bubbly and the
toppings are cooked through. My pizza stone
holds only 4 pizzas at a time, so work in
batches if needed.
8. Before serving, dollop or swirl avocado cream
over the pizzas, to taste, and sprinkle sliced
green onions on top. (To swirl it, I put the
cream in a Ziploc bag and cut off the tip!).

Avocado cream
1. Toss all the ingredients in the food processor
and blend until smooth. (Yup, that's all!).
You'll likely have leftover cream that you can
dip chips in too!
