    I enjoyed making and eating the Mexican pizza. It was easy. I mashed my black beans before I spread them on the crust. I felt like I was eating something from a local Mexican resturant. I will make this again. - 4/16/09

    Made this last Friday and it turned out awesome - we were already coming up with variations! We topped ours with corn, fresh tomatoes, onions, and shredded Mexican cheese. I made my own mashed and seasoned pinto beans, and served with fresh made guac. Yum!!! - 4/13/09

    This was so good! It's a great way to get some extra veggies and so easy.

    I used a corn tortilla as a base for mine because I was too tired to make the crust from scratch. - 4/14/09

    This was very good. I made it for my whole family. My two oldest daughters had their boyfriend and husband here and they both devoured it. I topped it with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and sliced olives. It was a great success. I have already been told to make it again SOON. - 8/2/09

    My family has made these for our family night. Each one uses a tortilla and makes their own pizza. It's great for those who don't like peppers and my dh wants mushrooms on his. One of our boys likes to put pineapple on his. Wonderful fun! - 6/26/09

    I have been making something like this for years, but instead of a "pizza" crust I just use a fresh corn tortilla. Sometimes I steam the tortilla a little in the microwave other times I carefully crisp them in the toaster oven. Either way It's a big time saver and perfect when cooking for 1 or 2. - 10/24/09

    I've been doing a version of this for years, using the whole grain pocketless pita. (?Kontos?) A base of fat-free refried beans and lite or lo fat cheddar. After it is heated, topped with salsa, lots of lo-or nonfat sour cream, and lots of chopped scallions. I might try the cumin for added flavor. - 10/12/09

    My local pizza joint makes something very similar to this, but without the sour cream and cheese - it's their vegan offering. It tastes great without the dairy products even to the omnivores), so don't be afraid to try this without them. Be aware that one slice=2 servings in the above recipe! - 1/28/12
