Oven

  1. Preheat the oven to 550 degrees with a circular cast iron pan inside.

Dough

  1. Roll/stretch the dough out - thin.

  2. Use lots of flour so It doesn’t stick to rolling pin/counter.

  3. Make around 2 large doughs.

Veggies

  1. Cut all the veggies.

  2. I toss the black beans/onions in some olive oil so they don’t get too dry when baking.

Sauce

  1. Add cilantro, green chiles, and garlic to a food processor. Make sure it’s finely chopped before adding in the avocado, lemon juice, & salt.

  2. Add the water slowly at the end to get the consistency you want.

  3. The sauce should be thick - do not blend too much. (picture above)

  4. Adjust seasonings to taste.

    1. The spicier the better - does not feel as spicey when eating.

Oven

  1. Transfer the cast iron to the complete bottom on the oven - no rack.

  2. Add the dough to the cast iron (with a pizza peel) once the oven has preheated. Bake until the bottom is cooked - 5 min.

  3. Remove from oven using pizza peel.

Assemble

  1. Add the avocado sauce first to the dough (the more the merrier)

  2. Shredded cheese - Mexican blend & cabot habanero.

  3. Then add black beans & corn.

  4. Add the veggies - onions, jalapenos, olives, garlic, and mushrooms.

  5. Drizzle lightly with olive oil + the crust.

  6. Once the cheese has melted & the bottom is crispy:

    1. Oil the crust again and broil for a minute & serve.

  7. Repeat for other doughs.

Top with garlic powder & red pepper flakes.

Also great on an air-fried crispy tortilla, instead of pizza dough. Serve with Salsa.
