    Chipotle Refried Beans, Pico De Gallo, Lime crema on Wheat Sorghum Crust. Vegan Mexican Pizza

    Published: Feb 22, 2013 · Modified: Jul 5, 2017 by Richa 29 Comments

    Vegan Mexican Pizza -Chipotle Refried Beans, Pico De Gallo, Lime crema | Vegan Richa


    Its Pizza time! I whipped up this Mexican Inspired Pizza a few days back. I decided to top it with Easy home made Refried beans with a hint of chipotle pepper (Frijoles Refritos), topped them with fresh Pico de gallo(yes its a phase) and Lime crema. I think I love the beany pizza sauces more than the plain old marinara:) The Pizza did not need any cheese. Vegan Cheddar would go well on it if desired. 

    I have a big Roasted Kabocha squash. Yes I roasted it whole, like the butternut for about 35 minutes at 330 degrees F .. Turned out beautifully.:) .I think I am going to whip up either some Spicy Kabocha Flautas/Taquitos or Kabocha Chickpea fries tomorrow.. vote in the comments below for which one:).

    I made some Roasted Kabocha Crepes/Dosa, exactly as the Sweet Potato Crepes, and made a short video of me making the crepes. The video is uploaded at the end of the Sweet potato crepe post.

    Vegan Mexican Pizza -Chipotle Refried Beans, Pico De Gallo, Lime crema | Vegan Richa

    My eyes are being very ridiculous since the past week and I am ready to learn to walk blind folded.. I couldnt stand in the kitchen for more than 2 minutes for 2 full days last week..gaaah… finally I realized I can walk easier on the carpeted area, so we put a thick rug on the tiles and I made it to the 15 minute in the kitchen mark.. Plans to get a home with all hard wood has to be reconsidered for a once or twice a year randomness as these. Pfft.
    Luckily I have a bunch of pictures I needed to edit and my eyes are holding up while working on the machine with breaks.. so here is a pizza for the weekend.

    If you are looking for more Pizza ideas.. hell you better be..;) there are a bunch 2o odd which have been tried and tasted by many.. Find the Pizza Collection here. Many different pizza crusts..Glutenfree crust options too.

      Mexican pizza! I never thought that such a concept could really work, but you have clearly proven me wrong, and happily so. Now I can’t help but dream of trying this on a cornmeal crust… That would be completely perfect!

      Hey hope your feeling better 🙂
      Addition of beans make the pizza more filling, stomach full with 2 slices than 4 :))

      This looks super delicious; so do many of your other pizza recipes!

      I hope you feel better and I will tell you if I try this recipe or a variation of it.

      Related to pizza, I thought you might be interested in a recipe for pan pizza crust on Serious Eats. I found it easy and it turned out well. I made it with some vegan mozzarella from Miyoko Schinner’s website, Sheese Bluse Cheese and I think I used a pizza sauce recipe from Serious eAts as well. Here is the link if your are interested.

      If I wasn’t already married, I would seriously consider getting paired up with this pizza. I think I’m in love.

      I should know better by now not to read your posts at dinner time. Thankfully I had already decided on saag paneer tonight but this recipe goes on my schedule.
      An anti-fatigue mat in the kitchen might be a blessing or cork flooring (very giving). Strips of carpet (think table runner-style) with non-skid backing, strategically placed, would allow hardwood flooring with a comfort option when required.

      How frustrating, Richa – – I hope that you regain your balance and are able to spend time doing what you love. Interesting about the carpet.

      Another luscious pizza! The lime crema is really what grabbed me :-)!

      Refried beans instead of tomato sauce is such a great idea, and the lime crema sounds amazing. I’m craving this right now!

      richa, i’m so sorry to hear about your eyes and balance. i’m so glad that it’s getting better now, but it must stink so much when you just want to be in the kitchen but can’t :/ i can’t wait to make this! perhaps dayv and i will both enjoy it together!
