Spicy Black Bean Pizza
This spicy black bean pizza is super tasty, and super healthy thanks to all the fresh veggies piled on top.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 whole grain pita, or wrap or other pizza crust
- 2 tomato, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp green onion, chopped
- 2 cup carrots, grated
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup alfalfa sprouts, alfalfa or clover (optional)
Spicy Lime Black Bean Dip
- 1 14oz can black beans
- 1 lime, zest
- 1 Tbsp tamari
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp cumin
- pinch cayenne pepper, more or less, to your spice-tastes
Instructions
- If you're having your pizza raw, you might want to toast the pita before loading it up, so that it gets a bit crunchy. Then spread some spicy black bean dip on it. Lay the tomatoes on, with a pinch of black pepper if you like. Sprinkle the green onions on, then the carrots. If it's going in the oven, massage the carrots with a pinch of salt first, to make sure they don't dry out.
- If you're baking your pizza, pop it in the oven at about 350 degrees F for 10-20 minutes, or until it's heated up to your taste.
- Finally, top your pizza with sliced avocado, and another sprinkle of black pepper. Bonus points if you put some fresh alfalfa sprouts on top!
Spicy Lime Black Bean Dip
- Rinse and drain the beans. Put the beans in a food processor (best choice) or blender (works ok), along with the lime zest & juice and the tamari, with about 1/4 cup of water. Blend until this is smooth, then blend in the fresh cilantro and spices. If your blender is not mixing things well at the consistency of your dip, simply transfer it to a bowl once the beans have been blended and stir in the spices instead.
