Fiesta Pizza

This pizza combines two of my favorite things...latin flavors and pizza...and uses a black bean dip as the base of the sauce. This dish is very versatile and would be delicious with any combo of veggies and cheese that you prefer. I make my own pizza dough but if you are pressed for time, any fresh pizza dough will work wonderfully.

                                                                                    
Black Bean Base

1 can black beans (rinsed)
1/2 cup salsa
1 clove garlic
2 T cumin
2 T fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno or 6 pickled jalapeno slices
Juice of 1 lime

Process all ingredients in food processor. Roll out pizza dough and spread with sauce (if you have leftover sauce, it would be delicious with chips or rolled into a tortilla).

Toppings
1 cup corn
1 cup chopped bell peppers
1 cup cherry tomatoes (sliced)
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
2 cups cheddar cheese

Bake pizza for 500 degrees for 20 minutes or until pizza is golden brown.
