I always thought that Mexican pizzas sounded really cool and fun to make but always got discouraged at the lack of vegetarian options, since I think a lot of the commercial non-meat ground beef substitutes usually have a soapy taste plus tend to be expensive. Feel free to use homemade refried beans, I prefer the convenience of canned and many brands make vegetarian/vegan varieties. I use ID #389616, All Purpose Mexican Seasoning, feel free to use a commercial type or another mix. Ingredients:
4 eight-inch flour tortillas (preferably whole wheat) |
1 (16 ounce) can vegetarian refried beans (black or pinto) |
4 teaspoons taco seasoning (to taste, id #389616) |
1/2 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded |
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded |
1 tomato, finely diced |
1 small onion, finely diced (1/4 cup prechopped) |
2 cups romaine lettuce, shreds |
sour cream |
your favorite salsa |
Directions:
1. Place 4 eight-inch tortillas onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Spread the refried beans across each tortilla and season with the taco seasoning/Mexican spices. Leave about 1/2 of space around the edges like putting sauce on a regular pizza.
2. Bake at 400F for 10 minutes. While they're baking, mix up the cheeses (or measure out 1 cup premade cheddarjack blend) in a small bowl, and the veggies in another.
3. When the tortillas are done baking, top each one with 1/4 cup cheese, and equal amounts of the veggie mix and serve immediately.
