1/2cup(125 mL) shredded reduce fat Monterey Jack cheese
2Tbsp(30 mL) chopped fresh cilantro or parsley,for garnish (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place pizza crust on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes or until crisp.
In a medium bowl, mash beans with a fork, then add onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder and hot sauce and stir to combine.
Spread bean mixture over crust, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border. Spoon salsa evenly over bean mixture then top with tomato and spinach. Sprinkle with cheeses and bake for 15 minutes until crust is lightly browned and cheese is melted.

Notes
A 14 oz (398 mL) can of black beans, drained and rinsed, yields 1 1/4 cups (300 mL) cooked beans. To cook up a batch of dry beans, check out our websitefor more info!
If you want a few black beans to sprinkle on top of the pizza with the tomato and spinach, only mash 1 cup (250 mL) of the black beans and save 1/4 cup (60 mL) for sprinkling!

Very tasty & hardy meal. I made my own crust & think I would do pre-bake step at a higher temp next time… tho 375 deg was good for the whole pizza.
Happy to hear you enjoyed the pizza and thanks for the feedback!
