Vegan Mexican Pizza
Servings: 4
This vegan Mexican pizza is the drive-thru classic, made better at home: crisp baked tortillas, seasoned refried and black beans, melty vegan cheddar and a generous pour of Taco Bell hot sauce. Ready in 35 minutes, no fake meat required.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoons avocado oil
- ¼ yellow onion chopped
- 1 jalapeño chopped
- 1 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup refried beans
- ½ cup black beans
- 4 flour tortillas
- ⅛ cup Taco Bell Hot Sauce
Toppings
- 1 cups vegan shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup tomatoes chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onions sliced
- 2 tablespoons sliced black olives
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400 °F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Heat some of the avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and jalapeño and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, refried beans and black beans. Lightly mash the black beans with the back of a spoon, leaving some whole. If the mixture is stiff, add water a little at a time until creamy and spreadable. Remove from the heat.
- Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with the remaining oil and arrange in a single layer on the baking sheets. Bake for 5 minutes, flip and bake until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes more.
- Pair up the baked tortillas. Spread the bean mixture over one tortilla in each pair and top with the other.
- Top with the hot sauce, vegan cheese, tomatoes, green onions and olives.
- Bake until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes, depending on the brand. Cut each pizza into quarters and serve immediately.
Notes
- Gluten-Free: Use corn tortillas, which bake up crisp like tostadas. Check that your taco seasoning is gluten-free, or make your own taco seasoning.
- Oil-Free: Bake the tortillas dry and sauté the onion in a splash of water.
- Make It Heartier: Spread walnut taco meat over the beans before adding the top tortilla.
- Storing: Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Re-crisp it on a baking sheet at 400 °F for 8 to 10 minutes, and add the fresh tomatoes and green onions after reheating.
