This Southwestern Tortilla Pizza packs a powerful punch of flavor, with black beans, corn, tomatoes, avocados, and creamy enchilada sauce!

I worked as a dietary manager in a skilled nursing facility for many years and one of the perks I loved about the job other than, of course, the free grilled cheese sandwiches, was the innovative meals ideas and product recommendations regularly sent to me by purveyors.

This southwestern tortilla pizza was inspired by the recipe booklet our supplier, Sysco, sent out to their accounts as an advertising campaign for their brand of canned black beans. I had to make adjustments to the ingredient amounts, however, as the recipe was meant for institutional cooking. We don’t need 300 servings, right? It’s so good, we just might!

Tips on How to Southwestern Tortilla Pizza:

  • Make sure to drain the corn mixture well or the excess liquid will tear through the tortillas.
  • As the tortillas are thin and can’t hold as much volume as regular pizza crust, go light with the toppings.
  • Although canned refried beans are ready to enjoy, take the extra step of warming them up for a few minutes so they’re easier to spread. Also, the bake time for the pizza is too short to completely heat up the beans.

In the mood for more unique pizza ideas? This puff pizza is the perfect way to enjoy summer tomatoes!
