Mexican Black Bean Pizza

 
There are a bunch of different ways you can make this.  You can use your own homemade pizza dough, a store bought pizza crust like a Boboli pizza crust, but my favorite is to just use a tostada.  You can buy them right by the tortillas, they come in a package of about 10-12.  Using that, or whatever your base is, add:

• 1/2 cup prepared black bean dip (purchased by the salsa)
• 6 scallions, chopped
• 1/3 cup salsa
• 1/2 cup shredded low fat mozzarella
• 1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
• 1/2 medium avocado
• 1/4 cup low fat sour cream
• 1 cup shredded lettuce

1. Preheat pizza crust according to package directions, or if you are using a tostada, no preheating is necessary. 
2. Spread a layer of black bean dip over the crust. 
3. Follow with a layer of salsa and sprinkle with the cheese. 
4. Top with chopped scallions (you could add olives too if you want here). 
5. Bake as directed for pizza crust, or if using the tostada, it takes about 5-7 minutes at 350. 
6. When done, top with tomatoes, avocado slices, sour cream and shredded lettuce. 
   1. If you use a large Boboli crust, for 1/4 of the pizza is approximately 307 calories, 10 grams of fat and 10 grams of fiber.
   2. I like using the tostada shell because its only 50 calories, and you can figure out the calories from there.  If I use the tostadas and make 2, it feels like its a bigger meal.  You could also add taco meat to it, or shredded chicken with taco seasonings as well to make more of a hearty meal.  Its a super easy dinner to make on a busy night.
