-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup cooked black beans

1 pizza crust (12-inch crust)

1/4 cup water (or bean cooking liquid)

1 green onion -- minced

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon mild chili powder

1 clove garlic -- minced

1/8 teaspoon salt

freshly ground pepper

1 1/4 cups Monterey jack cheese -- grated

1/2 cup fresh cilantro -- minced

1 can diced green chilies (4 1/4 oz) -- drained

1 can black olives -- drained & sliced

2 medium tomatoes -- sliced

1 medium avocado (firmly ripe) -- sliced

 

Cook the black beans according to directions. Prepare pizza crust from

Pizza Dough recipe or use a commercial crust for an Almost Instant

pizza. Preheat the oven or outdoor grill to 500 degrees F. Place the

beans and water in the work bowl of a food processor, along with the

green onion, cumin, chili powder, garlic, salt, and pepper. Puree until

smooth. Spread this mixture over the prepared crust. Evenly distribute

the cheese, then the cilantro. Sprinkle on the chilies and olives, then

arrange the tomato slices. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes until the cheese

melts and the crust is golden. Arrange avocado slices on the pizza in a

pretty pattern. Serve immediately.
