How To Make This Mexican Pizza
The preparation of this pizza is pretty easy. All in all, it’s ready in about 25 minutes. Of course it takes a bit longer if you make your own pizza dough.
STEP 1: Make your pizza dough. You could use my recipe for a vegan pizza dough. Or use a store-bought one. Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
STEP 2: Roll out your pizza dough and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the pizza sauce with the spices. Spoon the pizza sauce on top and evenly spread it out.
STEP 3: Now add the toppings. Start by adding the veggie ground meat, then the corn, the bell peppers, the red onion, and the kidney beans.
STEP 4: Top the pizza with vegan cheese.
STEP 5: Bake the pizza for 7-10 minutes at 350 °F. Keep the pizza in the middle of the oven, so the crust won’t burn.
STEP 6: Top the pizza with vegan sour cream and sprinkle it with red pepper flakes, sliced green chili, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes:
- I didn’t include a recipe for a pizza dough in this post. You can either use a store-bought pizza dough or you could check out my vegan pizza dough.
- If you want you could top off the pizza with a bit of vegan sour cream. I usually use store-bought vegan sour cream for this recipe. But you could also make your own. I included a recipe for cashew sour cream in my vegan chili post.
- Every oven is a bit different, so make sure your pizza doesn’t get too dark. I recommend checking after 7 minutes. Also make sure to keep the pizza in the middle of the oven.
