Black Bean Taco Pizza

This is quick and easy with a very thin crust, and my kids love it as much as I do. The great thing about the crust recipe is that it can be used for any kind of pizza toppings you'd like to use.

This makes one pizza, so increase ingredients accordingly for multiples.

Crust:

1 Tbs yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 tsp salt
2 Tbs canola + 2 tsp
1 1/4 cup flour (try subbing 1/2 cup of the white flour with wheat flour for an even healthier choice.)

Toppings:

4-5 Tbs taco sauce
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
1/3 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup frozen corn
1 can chopped green chiles, drained
2 green onions, chopped
1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese (colby-jack is great)

Optional:

1/3 cup left over taco-seasoned chicken breast or 93/7 ground beef to add protein.
Reduced-fat or fat-free sour cream

Preheat oven to 425.

Mix yeast with water until dissolved. Let set for a few minutes.

Add salt and oil, mixing well. Add flour, mixing well.

Roll out dough into a circle, size/thickness as desired.

Bake dough 5 minutes. Remove from oven and rub with remaining 2 tsp canola oil. Add toppings as desired.

Bake 10-15 more minutes, until very hot and cheese is melted.

Serve with the reduced-fat or fat-free sour cream if desired.
