Tex-Mex Pizza

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED

• 1 bag of 10 flour tortillas
• 1 can (15oz) black beans
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1/2 small onion, sliced thin
• your favorite chunky salsa
• sliced jalapeños
• shredded lettuce
• chopped cilantro
• sour cream

Preheat oven 400^oF. If you have a pizza stone, preheat it too, for an extra crispy crust. Distribute beans, cheese, onion, salsa, and jalapeños evenly on tortillas. Go light on the cheese & salsa, so the tortilla does not get too wet. Move your tex-mex pizzas to a cookie sheet or place directly on preheated pizza stone. Bake 7-10 minutes, until cheese has melted and tortillas are crispy around the edges, bake longer if you like a crunchy crust. Keep watch over the tortillas. Remove from oven, and top with lettuce, cilantro and sour cream.

Variation

You can add cooked shredded chicken, ground beef with taco seasoning, and who could forget avocados! Have fun mixing it up.

Involve the kids

This recipe is fun for kids to build their own pizzas or allow them to “cook” dinner. However, please have adult supervision and assistance when handling the oven or pizza stone.
