Ingredients

FOR PIZZA

TOPPINGS

  • 1 cup Shredded Lettuce
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese
  • 1 small Tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup Sliced Black Olives
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream to drizzle on top

Instructions

FOR PIZZA

  • Assemble: ingredients. Preheat oven @ 400 degree F.
  • And spices.
  • Combine all the ingredients listed under pizza in a bowl.
  • Spread the toppings on a paper towel. Make sure all your toppings are paper-dried before it goes on the pizza. Corn, bell pepper and black beans hold moisture.
  • So wrap the toppings in between a paper towel and press gently. This will draw out all the excess moisture and your pizza base will not end up soggy. This step is a game-changer.
  • Meanwhile, grease a baking tray and place it in the warm oven for 15-20 minutes. This will result in a crispy bottom crust. A COOKIE/CAKE WIRE RACK CAN ALSO BE USED TO BAKE THIS PIZZA.

  • Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a rectangle.
  • Carefully, remove hot baking sheet from oven and transfer the pastry onto the hot baking sheet. Leaving an inch on all four sides make a rectangle on the sheet. Use a fork to gently poke holes throughout all of the pastry dough. This way the center will not rise during baking but the edges will puff up well.
  • Transfer the veggies/beans back to the bowl and add spices.
  • And cheese. Mix it well. Spread the mix immediately onto the puff pastry sheet.
  • Generously sprinkle topping in that rectangle. Do not add the toppings on the sides.
  • Brush all the four sides with butter and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from oven and advance to the next step.
