chopped lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, black olives, salsa, cilantro and plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
Instructions
To make the crumbled ground beef, in a large skillet over medium high heat add the ground beef. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the beef into small crumbles. Season the beef with the spices, salt and pepper. Cook the beef until it is done then pour it onto paper towels if there is any excess grease.
To make the mashed black beans, in a bowl mash together all of the ingredients with a potato masher until desired consistency is reached.
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Stretch or roll the pizza dough out onto a prepared pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkled with cornmeal. Spread the mashed black beans evenly on top of the pizza dough. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the beans. Top with the crumbled ground beef and the rest of the shredded cheese. Bake the pizza on the middle rack of the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and top with any or all of the listed toppings.
