Ingredients

4 corn tortillas, or whole-wheat tortillas (6-inches in diameter)
1/2 cup Black Bean Dip, recipe follows
1 large tomato, seeded and diced
1 cup shredded green cabbage
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the tortillas onto a baking sheet and spread 2 tablespoons of black bean dip on top of each tortilla. Top with tomato and cabbage and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the pizzas from the oven and sprinkle some cilantro on each one. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into wedges.

Black Bean Dip:

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced

1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil in a skillet over a medium heat. Add onions and saute until they soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and jalapeno and cook for 1 minute more.

Put the beans into a food processor. Add the onion mixture and the rest of the ingredients and puree until smooth.

Amazingly guilt-free AND delicious.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this and the 7-layer dip. Both are extremely good. Who knew you could skip the cheese and sour cream and just... get that punch of flavor from the cabbage and spice! Read more

This Recipe Rocks!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is SO GOOD! After reading all the reviews, I changed mine just a little. I crisped my tortilla in the oven for about 2... minutes with convection on. In the bean dip, I added 2 more cloves of garlic, a 1/4 tsp coriander, a little garlic powder and a couple tablespoons of green onions. I also left the dip just a little chunky. I never can leave a recipe alone. I put 2 tbsp of cheese on top of the bean dip and baked for about 8 min with convection. After they came out, I added the tomatoes, shredded iceberg lettuce, salsa and 1 tbsp light sour cream per pizza. I was completely stuffed and satisfied after 1 pizza. I figure that makes up for the cheese and sour cream. TOTALLY AWESOME! My husband couldn't believe it was healthy. He told me "Its a Keeper." He never likes my "diet" food. The bean dip is completely awesome on its own and I think I will take it to my next office potluck. We also made some baked corn chips to go with the extra bean dip and some salsa. Totally fabulous!Read more

Not crispy!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Loved the flavor of the bean dip. Will be using that for other things as well. My tortillas did not crisp up in the oven so... it was a bit hard for me to eat. Tonight I will bake the tortillas a bit before I put the bean dip on. All in all....great. I also put a slice of non fat cheese before baking. Read more
