How to make vegan and gluten free Mexican pizza
Start by preheating your oven to 400° F. While you’re waiting on your oven to preheat, wash and dice your bell peppers and onion. In a medium size bowl, mix together refried beans, half a cup of salsa, 1 tsp onion powder, and a dash of salt and pepper. Stir until combined. Top your pizza crust with 1/2 cup refried bean mixture, vegan shreds, peppers, and onions. Lightly drizzle on enchilada sauce and bake for 10 minutes. Let pizza cool for an additional 5 minutes and top with optional shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, diced roma tomatoes, and sour cream if desired. Cut into pizza slices with pizza cutter and enjoy!
