Pizza Mexicana

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses Quick Meals
Although far from Italy, Mexican flavours – beans, corn, chilli, avocado – work wonderfully on pizza too. This recipe is a cavalcade of textures: the meeting of creamy beans and avocado, crunchy dough and refreshing coriander. The capsaicin content of the jalapeño provides the fire, which is tamed by the fat of the cheese and avocado.

Instructions

1 ✓

Roll out the dough thinly, place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, and spread with tomato sauce.

Tip: Thin dough (Roman style) suits heavy toppings better because it provides a crispy base.
2 ✓

Scatter over the cheese, then the drained beans and sliced jalapeño.

Tip: Scatter the beans evenly, not in piles, so they can heat through.
3 ✓

Bake at 220°C for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese melts and the dough is golden brown.

Tip: High heat 'shocks' the dough, making it quickly become crispy.
4 ✓

After baking, place the freshly sliced avocado and coriander on top.

Tip: The creamy fattiness of the avocado replaces sour cream, and cools the heat of the chilli.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the avocado bitter?
Never bake avocado! Heat changes the chemical structure of the compounds in it, and it becomes bitter. Always add it afterwards.
Should I use tinned beans?
Yes, but rinse them thoroughly so their starchy liquid doesn't make the pizza soggy.
