Vegan Mexican Pizza Recipe

Weekends are screaming for pizza and I thought why not try something new! You guys know I love pizza and I have tried all different kind of pizzas, such as chickpea avocado pizza, mushroom pizza, spinach pizza, pizza Hawaii, pizza Bianca, etc. However, I never tried a Mexican pizza recipe with refried beans. Until recently.

And you know what, it was a good decision. Homemade pizza is always the best in my opinion, even when you have options like Taco Bell or Dominos. Have you ever made a Mexican pizza? My version is not only vegan but also gluten-free.

You should give it a try if you:

1. Love pizza and love Tex-Mex food.
2. Like healthy and clean ingredients.
3. Want to make a pizza which is versatile.

Simple Ingredients

Here is what you will need to make this simple Mexican pizza recipe:

• Your favorite pizza crust OR flour tortillas
• Refried beans
• Salsa (optional)
• Onion
• Bell pepper
• Jalapeño
• Corn
• Vegan cheese
• Spices

I used my gluten-free pizza crust, however, you can make your favorite pizza crust or use tortillas to make the pizza even more Mexican. 🙂

Refried beans are a must for this recipe. You can use store-bought refried beans (e.g. canned) or make your own. I made my own refried beans from cooked pinto beans. You can find my homemade recipe HERE.You can also add a layer of salsa on top of the refried beans but this step is optional.

I used onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, and corn but feel free to also use tomatoes or whatever you prefer. To me, these pizza toppings remind me most of Mexico and I really love the taste!

Of course, I couldn’t resist adding my easy vegan cheese sauce. A pizza without “cheeze” is not as tasty, in my opinion.

How To Make Mexican Pizza?

If you use a store-bought pizza crust or tortillas and store-bought refried beans, this recipe is really quick and easy to make. However, if you prefer making your own pizza dough from scratch (and maybe also homemade refried beans), it will be obviously more work and take longer.

1. First, prepare the pizza crust OR use a store-bought crust resp. tortillas.
2. Chop/slice the veggies.
3. Top the pizza crust with a thick layer of refried beans.
4. Add the veggies on top.
5. Finally, add a generous layer of vegan cheese and bake the pizza in the oven until crispy and golden brown.

You can serve the Mexican pizza with vegan sour cream if you like but this is optional, of course.
