I have really enjoyed experimenting with pizza recipes this summer. I’ve found some new combinations that my family likes. Hallelujah! Maybe we can bust out of the pepperoni rut!
Hint: one of the ways I accomplished this was to stop buying pepperoni. Heehee.
This burrito pizza really is delicious though. It has been requested on subsequent evenings. So, I know it’s a keeper. With black beans, jalapenos, tomatoes, onions, black olives, and plenty of cheese, you don’t need the chicken. But, that sends it over the top. Feel free to serve salsa, sour cream and guacamole on the side.
Burrito Pizza
1/4 batch of basic pizza dough
1 cup cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 tomato, diced
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped, cooked chicken
Preheat oven to 475°. Prepare dough according to recipe directions. Grease baking pan. Divide dough into four portions and stretch to fit into pan. Freeze the other three balls of dough or make other kinds of pizza, like Cheese or the Jalapeno Burn.
For this pizza, spread beans over pizza round. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle over the top with the tomato, the onion, jalapenos, black olives, chicken and cheddar cheese. Bake 10 – 12 minutes or until crust is crisp and cheese is gooey and golden.

This is totally something that I could do on Friday nights with the kids instead of regular pizza! I think they would love it!

sounds good. our most recent pizza experiment was a new favorite — 1/4 c. of ranch instead of red sauce + chopped, cooked chicken + a mixture of mozzarella and cheddar + chopped, cooked bacon and diced tomatoes. very, very yummy.

Hi, loved the post.I just came back from the mid west Mo & Ks Olathe .(daughter #2 lives off 119th st) We had a taco pizza from Caseys ( believe or not it’s a gas station for those of you not from the area) that we really liked .It had refried beans,lettuce,tomatoes,cheddar cheese, ground pork,and on top you added taco sauce.I always had them precook the crust alittle more before they added the toppings.Yummy

This might sound like a silly question, but how do you freeze pizza dough?

I only let it rise for 30 minutes the first time, divide into dough balls and freeze in sandwich bags. It helps to oil the dough first. Then pull out however many you want the night before or morning of baking and put in a greased dish to thaw/rise.

What do you use for sauce?

@Alicia, no sauce. Just as it’s directed. Beans, cheese, etc. It’s not dry, though I can understand why you might wonder.
