My husband has been craving pizza, so I made him this fun pizza that was a Pillsbury Bake-off winner. I substituted black beans for the red beans, and omitted the cilantro because my husband isn’t a fan. The pizza was a hit and there are enough leftovers for another meal. He topped it with some chipotle corn salsa! This pizza was SO easy to make and took no time at all.
Black Bean and Chicken Pizzaadapated from Pillsbury Bake-off recipe
1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza crust
3/4 cup reduced fat mayonnaise
1 tsp lime juice
1 can (4.5 oz) chopped green chilies, drained
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained
1 cup cooked shredded chicken
1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 tblsp chopped fresh cilantro
DIRECTIONS
| Heat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease 14-inch pizza pan with shortening or cooking spray. Unroll dough; place in pan. Starting at center, press out dough to edge of pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or just until crust begins to brown around edge. |
|
| Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix mayonnaise, lime juice and chiles. | |
| Gently spread mayonnaise mixture over partially baked crust. Top with beans, chicken and cheese. Bake 10 to 14 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving. |

Meg – this looks very interesting and I would like to try a slice. I don’t mind cold pizza
One of my favorite restaurants in Nashville makes a killer black bean pizza. Actually two of my favorite restaurants there do. If you’re ever in the area let me know, I’ll point you in the right directions.

Now this is creative, I’d really like this because of the black beans and chicken with lots and lots of mozzarella!

OH YUM!! I may have to try this!
I love the looks of this pizza! I’ve never tried one with beans before, but I can imagine it’d be very tasty! I bet it would taste great with that corn salsa, too. YUM!

Awesome! I love black beans and chicken together, and on a pizza — even better.
Can I share your recipe at my Fiesta blog event?
What a great idea for a pizza! It looks really delicious! So creative!
What a great combo, gotta give this a try. My dad doesn’t like cilantro either, what’s wrong with these guys?
That sounds fantastic!! My kids love anything with black beans on it!
Meg, My husband would love this! By the way could you post your recipe for Pumpkin Angel Food cake. I would love to try that. I will repost it on my blog after I make it.
Fondly, DCRose
im not a fan of beans at all but that looks good, yum.
Hmm this one looks like something I could make for my boyfriend. He LOVES pizza and I really want to cook for him more but he requires SO much food. I never saw refrigerated pizza crust before, I need to look for it!
After seeing this I can’t wait to put beans in my next pizza!
