Pizza for Cinco de Mayo!

Dear Readers, I was so excited to post a recipe in celebration of Cinco de Mayo that Funk and I actually created this for dinner last night, just to have a post ready for you today! How's that for blogger dedication?! We dusted off our sombreros and got the ingredients out for a perfect Cinco de Mayo pizza.

Ingredients:
1/2 ball of fresh whole wheat pizza dough and a few shakes of whole wheat flour for dusting
enough spicy salsa to cover the crust
soy cheese
about 1/3 cup black beans (canned and rinsed)
about 1/4 cup guacamole

We rolled out the dough and put it in a pie pan (sprayed with some cooking spray) then spread spicy salsa on top in place of the pizza sauce. I topped it with some shredded soy cheese. If you eat dairy cheese, go for the spicy jalapeno kind for added flair! Then we sprinkled on some black beans and baked it in a 425 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes until the crust was...crusty. I'd actually recommend adding the beans with only a few minutes left of cooking because ours began to dry out. Funk recommended I do that and I didn't listen to him. Whoops!
After the pizza was cooked and slightly cooled I spread on some guacamole around the crust. It was prepared Trader Joe's guacamole since I was pressed for time and the avocados were NOT ready for Cinco de Mayo!

This pizza was muy bueno! We fully intended to only eat half tonight so we could have leftovers on the actual Cinco de Mayo...but we ate the whole thing. Can you blame us? Ole!
