How to Prepare this Black Bean Pizza Recipe

Choose whichever 12-inch crust is your favorite. You may choose a homemade crust or store-bought crust, a thin crust or even a gluten-free crust. Whichever pizza crust you choose, follow the package directions to prepare it properly.

Now add the spices, ground cumin and cilantro.

Bake this pizza until the cheese has evenly melted and the bean mixture is hot. For our crust, we were required to bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Follow your crust’s direction to cook this pizza properly.

Remove the cooked pizza from the oven, cut and serve hot. Word of caution, the cheese is hot so be careful.
