Many of you know that pizza and I go way back. Waaaaaay back. (if you didn’t know, my parents have owned a pizza shop since I was an itty bitty girl, I grew up watching my dad making a million pizzas a week). It’s hands down my favorite food in the world.

Mexican food? I don’t think I had a taste of Mexican food until I was close to becoming an adult. Mexican food didn’t really make appearances in my Italian rooted house during my childhood. I think I had my first bean dip when I was waitressing at a sports bar in college. Nachos and I became best friends around that time too. I think it’s now safe to say that I love Mexican food. And I cook it at home at least once a week.

This little recipe for Mexican Black Bean Pizza is the perfect combination of my two favorite foods. It uses just a few ingredients that you will most likely already have on hand. The one ingredient you may have to make a little effort for is the pulled pork. I happen to have some leftover in my freezer from the last batch I made, but if you don’t, any leftover protein would really work here – leftover grilled or pulled chicken, chorizo or taco meat. Play around with it.

Of course, this little pizza included another favorite food of mine – beans. Grab a can, heat them up with some onion and throw them on there, easy peasy. Canned beans are so great to have on hand to add to any recipe.

Each pizza “crust” is made with 2 tortillas, glued together by cheese, to make it sturdier. I thought this was pretty genius. If you are watching your calories, just cut back a little on the cheese – and remember to shred it yourself straight from the block, I always find that when you do it that way the cheese melts so much better and you can use a lot less.

  38. I love it but I have modified it a little… I do not eat anything in a can or box anymore I have redone my entire eating habits to get off my blood pressure, diabetic and cholesterol meds… Been eating as fresh as I can and it is working great for me.. I used dried black beans and cooked them, I made homemade salsa, used fresh chilies, and multigrain tortillas.. Just awesome

    • sounds fantastic! So glad you enjoyed! And congrats on the fresh eating lifestyle change, it makes a huge difference in how you feel !!

  40. Pinned it, made it, loved it! I made my own tortillas for the first time. Can’t believe how easy and so much better tasting they are! Great recipe, thanks!

    • Ohhh, I would really love to make my own tortillas. Did you follow a recipe? That is on my bucket list!
      Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me know MaryAnn!

      • I searched on Pinterest, there are many recipes, and all have the same basic ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, and butter flavored crisco. I just chose one that didn’t make a ton (it made 12) since I wasn’t sure how they would turn out and that had a lot of positive feedback. They were perfect for your black bean pizza! The quality is amazing compared to store bought, and mine tasted like Cafe Rio if you have ever eaten there. If you haven’t, put that on your bucket list! Amazeballs!

  41. Stumbled upon this recipe yesterday and made it last night! I am a vegetarian so I left the pork out. I didn’t have salsa so, I added a bit of cumin and these were great. My 6 year old’s only complaint was that he had to wait for his to cool. I brought leftovers for lunch today. Super easy! Super fast!

    • Yay! This is great feedback, thank you! Personally I would prefer mine without pork as well but my husband loved the meaty version ๐Ÿ™‚ So happy you stopped back to report – and SO happy your 6 year old enjoyed it! Thanks so much!

  42. I just happen to also have a small frozen package of my husband’s pulled pork. I am making this for dinner this weekend. I think I might even try to make my own tortillas like Mary Ann did. Thanks for the great recipe.

  44. Tried this recipe tonight at the recommendation of my sister. I loved it as did my parents. Still have to try it on my super picky son (he wasn’t home for dinner). I added it to my personal book of recipes to make again and again! I added a bit of fresh cilantro on top before serving and I’m going to try with fresh avocado slices next time!

    • ohhh, would be amazing with avocado slices! I’m so happy to hear you tried it and enjoyed it. Maybe you can customize it for your picky eater ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thanks so much for the feedback and for stopping by to comment! Have a great week!
