Ingredients

Your favorite pizza crust ((I made my own crust, see notes))
One 16 oz can refried beans ((I used homemade, see notes))
1 medium onion
1 medium red bell pepper
1/4 cup corn
2/3 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
A pinch of cayenne
1 jalapeño pepper (or more to taste)
7-8 oz vegan cheese ((I used homemade, see notes))
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Salsa ((optional, see notes))

Steps:

First, prepare the dough using my Homemade Gluten-Free Pizza Crust Recipe (click for the recipe) or use a store-bought pizza crust. Check the recipe notes below for the tortilla version.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius) and line a large baking sheet with greased parchment paper.
Transfer the Refried Beans to a bowl and add a splash of water to make the mixture spreadable. Add all spices (cumin, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper).
Chop/dice/slice the onion, pepper, and jalapeño.
Transfer the pizza crust onto the lined baking sheet and add a thick layer of refried beans.
Put the veggies, jalapeño, and corn on top.
Finally, add a generous layer of vegan cheese (I added my Vegan Cheese Sauce).
Sprinkle with salt and bake the pizza in the oven until crispy, about 20 minutes. Enjoy!

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 sweet onion, (diced)
8 cloves garlic, (minced)
1 tbsp olive oil ((or sub vegetable stock))
12-14 oz frozen vegan meatless crumbles ((see post for plant based sub ideas))
1 tbsp taco seasoning, (divided)
8-12 6in flour tortillas shells ((see post if GF))
15 oz can refried beans (*Make sure they are vegan friendly)
1/2 cup red enchilada sauce ((store bought or click link for homemade))
1/4 cup vegan cheddar cheese
1/4 cup vegan Mozzarella cheese
2 roma tomatoes, (diced)
additional toppings ((see post for ideas))
cooking spray

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Chop onions and garlic.
Add oil to a skillet over medium low heat.
Saute onions for 2-3 minutes or until softened.
Add garlic and half of the taco seasoning. Stir together and cook for 1 minutes.
Add meatless crumbles and sprinkle remaining taco seasoning over top and stir. Cook for 4-5 minutes (or according to package instructions if longer than this). Remove from heat.
Spray both sides of the tortillas with cooking spray.
In another skillet, heat over medium, and add a tortilla and cook until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side. *Tips: You can be doing this while sauting the meatless crumbles mixture so they are ready at the same time. The skillet will continue to heat the long it's going, so the first tortilla will take the longest to get golden brown and the remaining ones will cook much faster so pay attention to avoid burning.
Heat refried beans.
On one tortilla spread 1/6th the amount of refried beans each tortilla.
On top of the beans, add 1/6th the amount of the meatless crumbles mixture.
Add another tortilla on top.
Repeat this with any more pizzas you are making or place the beans and meat mixture in the fridge for later pizzas once cooled.
Add 2 tablespoons of the enchilada sauce on the top tortilla.
Add a tablespoon or 2 of each vegan cheddar and mozzarella on top.
Bake for 7-10 minutes or until cheese have melted and everything is heated throughout.
Remove from oven. Top with diced tomatoes and any other optional toppings.
Cut into slices and enjoy.

Tips:

For a crispier crust, use a pizza stone or baking sheet preheated to 450°F (230°C).
If you don't have almond flour, you can use all-purpose flour instead. Just note that the crust will not be as crispy.
To make sure the cheese is melted and bubbly, pre-bake the crust for 5-7 minutes before adding the toppings.
Don't overload the pizza with toppings, or it will be difficult to cook evenly.
If you like your pizza spicy, add some chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper to the toppings.
For a unique twist, try using black beans or sweet potatoes instead of ground beef.

Conclusion:

This vegan gluten-free Mexican pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It is packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are craving a Mexican pizza, give this recipe a try!
