Why We Like It
This delicious meal will satisfy your strongest Mexican-food cravings. The best part is the "star of the show," the Avocado Cream! Then, use leftover Avocado Cream again for Fish Tacos -- delicious!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
Cook the Pizza Topping:
|
Add oil to a large skillet over medium high heat. Add everything else and cook 3-5 minutes until heated through. |
Prepare the Tortillas:
|
Spread tortillas out across two ungreased baking sheets and set aside. (If desired, place tortillas in the oven for 5 minutes to crisp them a bit before the next step.) |
Assemble the Tortillas and Bake:
|
Spread about 3 Tbsp of refried beans on each tortilla. (You may want to transfer the beans to a bowl, then “fluff” with a fork to achieve an easy spreading consistency, adding a bit of water if needed.) Then top the beans with the sautéed vegetable mixture and cheese. Repeat for each tortilla. Bake the tortilla pizzas for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. |
Make the Avocado Cream:
|
Add to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Add additional lime or lemon juice (or milk), 1 Tbsp at a time, to thin the cream if needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (You will use one cup for the pizzas, then can use leftover Avocado Cream for Fish Tacos another night!) |
Serve and Enjoy!
|
Serve the pizzas topped with a spoonful of avocado cream and cilantro. Slice or fold and eat as a “taco” pizza if desired! |
Quick Tips
Chipotle chilies in adobo sauce are smoked jalapenos packed in a flavorful sauce. They can be found in small cans in the Mexican section of the store. Once opened, they will keep in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks, or in the freezer for about 6 months.
You may want to transfer the refried black beans to a bowl and “fluff” them with a fork to get the beans to an easy spreading consistency, adding a bit of water if needed.
