Mexican Black Bean and Jalapeño Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses Quick Meals
Though far from Italy, Mexican flavors—beans, corn, chili, avocado—work wonderfully on pizza. This recipe is a medley of textures: creamy beans and avocado meet crisp crust and fresh cilantro. The jalapeño provides the heat, tamed by the fats in the cheese and avocado.

Instructions

1 ✓

Roll the dough out thin, place on parchment-lined sheet, and spread with tomato sauce.

Tip: Thin crust (Roman style) holds up better to heavy toppings by providing a crisp base.
2 ✓

Top with cheese, then the rinsed beans and sliced jalapeños.

Tip: Spread beans evenly rather than in clumps so they heat through.
3 ✓

Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until cheese melts and crust is golden.

Tip: High heat shocks the dough into crisping quickly.
4 ✓

After baking, top with fresh sliced avocado and cilantro.

Tip: Avocado adds creamy richness similar to sour cream and cools the chili heat.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the avocado bitter?
Never bake avocado! Heat changes its chemistry and makes it bitter. Always add it fresh after baking.
Can I use canned beans?
Yes, but rinse them thoroughly so the starchy liquid doesn't make the pizza soggy.
