Ingredients

  • 4 - 8-inch (20 cm) flatbreads (see notes)
  • 1 cup (250 mL) thick salsa, heat level as desired
  • 2 cups (500 mL) cooked or canned black beans, drained & rinsed (see notes)
  • 1 cup (250 mL) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2-3 fresh tomatillos, or 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced red onion

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Spread salsa evenly over flatbreads. Divide beans, cheese, tomatillo and red onion evenly over top.
  • Bake for 10 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are browned.
  • Cut into 2 to 4 pieces per flatbread to serve. Can be served warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Flatbreads can be thick pitas, naan, or small prepared pizza crusts. Keep frozen and ready to "dress up" for snacking, meals and sharing.
  • A 19 oz (540 mL) can of black beans, drained and rinsed, yields 2 cups (500 mL) cooked beans. To cook up a batch of dry beans, check out our website for more information!
