This colorful pizza is tasty, beautiful and nourishing. It has cream avocado, crunchy red cabbage, spicy jalapeños and fresh cilantro with a bit of zest!

Ingredients
 

  • 2 Roma tomatoes
  • 1/4 head head red cabbage
  • 1/2 jalapeño
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, lightly packed
  • 1/2-1 tsp. lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 thin crust pizza dough, (see note 1)
  • 1 1/2 cups refried beans
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, (see note 2)

Instructions
 

  • Prep Fresh Ingredients: Dice the tomatoes. Thinly slice the cabbage. The thinner, the better! Remove the seeds from the jalapeño and finely dice the jalapeño. Roughly chop the cilantro. Combine the tomatoes, cabbage, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice and a couple pinches of salt in a bowl. Set aside or store in the fridge until needed.
  • Prep Crust: Preheat the oven according to the pizza dough/crust package instructions. Roll the pizza dough onto a pizza stone or cookie sheet. Bake the dough/crust in the oven for HALF the cooking time listed on the cooking instructions.
  • Layer 1: Remove pizza crust from the oven. Spread the refried beans in an even layer over the crust. Careful! It may be hot.
  • Layer 2: Sprinkle half the cheese over the beans.
  • Layer 3: Add the fresh ingredients mixture to the pizza (cabbage/tomatoes/jalapeno/cilantro).
  • Layer 4: Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the pizza.
  • Bake Pizza: Bake the pizza at 350° for 7-9 minutes (or until cheese is melted and crust appears crispy).
  • Top & Enjoy: Cut the avocado into cubes. Once the pizza is done cooking, top it with the avocado and some plain Greek yogurt. TIP: If the Greek yogurt is too thick, thin it out with a couple tablespoons of water.

Notes

Note 1 - Dough: Store-bought or homemade. I use a quick and easy pizza crust recipe when I'm short on time and ingredients!
Note 2 - Greek Yogurt: I recommend 2% or full-fat plain Greek yogurt.
