Mexican Veggie Pizza
Ingredients
- 12 small flour or corn tortillas
- Vegetable oil or margarine
- 1 (16 oz) can refried beans
- 1/4 c. chopped onion
- 2 oz. diced fresh or canned green chili peppers (optional)
- 6 Tbsp. salsa or taco sauce
- 3 c. chopped vegetables, such as broccoli, mushrooms, bell pepper
- 1/2 c. mozzarella cheese (part skim), shredded
Directions
Brush one side of each of two tortillas with water. Press the wet sides of the tortillas together to form a thick crust for the pizza. Brush the outside of the tortillas with a small amount of oil or margarine. Evenly brown both sides in a heated frying pan; set aside. Heat refried beans, onion and half of the chili peppers together in a medium saucepan, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Spread about a cup of the bean mixture on each tortilla pizza. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salsa, then top with ½ cup of the chopped vegetables, 1 teaspoon chili peppers and 1 tablespoon cheese for each pizza. Return to frying pan and heat until cheese melts. Serve immediately.
