Vegan Mexican Pizza

First attempt at cooking a vegan meal was vegan mexican pizza inspired by "Vegan Cooking for Carnivores" by Chef Roberto Martin. Pre-Baked it looked like this:

The pizza dough was pre-made and bought at Trader Joe's grocery store. The toppings included:

1 can of organic pinto refried beans

Shredded soy mozarrella

Sliced sweet baby bell peppers (yellow and orange)

1 can of sliced black olives

Sliced jalapeños

Building the pizza:

Stretched pizza dough to a round shape (believe me it wasn't perfect)!

Spread the organic pinto refried beans on to the pizza dough like you would tomato sauce

Sprinkle with the shredded soy mozarrella cheese

Add the remaining toppings

Top off with more soy mozarrella cheese

Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees, I did not use a pizza stone just an oven safe baking pan sprayed with olive oil. The pizza was a big hit amongst my non-vegan friends. The taste is similar to a mexican gordita if you've ever had one.

Happy Pizza Making!
