Mexican Black Bean Pizza

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Yield: 4 pizzas
Lots of cheese, black beans, salsa, green chiles, and veggies give these tortilla pizzas a spicy, Mexican spin.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups shredded Mexican Blend cheese
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 (6-inch) whole wheat tortillas
1 small onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
1/2 cup salsa, mild or spicy
2 ounces canned chopped green chiles

Instructions

Heat oven to 350°F. Mix half the Mexican Blend cheese with the Monterey Jack cheese in a bowl; set aside. Brush a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of the oil and arrange tortillas in a single layer. Puncture each tortilla a few times with a fork. Sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese evenly over 4 of the tortillas, then cover each with a remaining tortilla. Bake 5-6 minutes or until browned slightly. While tortillas bake, heat remaining oil in a skillet and cook onions and bell pepper until browned. Add beans and partially mash with a potato masher or the back of a fork. Remove tortilla pizzas from oven and top each with bean mixture, spreading evenly. Top with salsa, green chiles and cheese mixture. Return to oven. Bake until cheese melts, about 10-20 minutes.
