Easily whip up this Chicken Black Bean Bowl Pizza for a fast weeknight meal or a healthy alternative to your weekend take-out!
Are we the only ones who struggle with a family torn between Mexican food and pizza on Friday nights? It can be hard to satisfy everyone without breaking the bank. Luckily, we have just the solution you need with this Chicken Black Bean Bowl Pizza recipe.
This Mexican twist on pizza is not only easy to put together but is guaranteed to satisfy everyone’s craving: Mexican or authentic pizza. We used a pre-made pizza crust in this recipe, but feel free to make your own if you feel like you want to make this taste 100% homemade.
On top of the crispy crust is our hearty and satisfying Chicken Black Bean Bowl. This bowl has tender chicken, fiber-rich black beans, salsa, queso fresco, and cheddar cheese. Let’s not forget the cilantro lime rice, too! Ya, this is pretty much a burrito bowl on top of a pizza. But, who could be mad about that?
This Mexican pizza recipe takes less time to make than it does to order from the local pizzeria. And it’s healthier, too. There are no secret sauces or extra oils used in this recipe. We finished it off with a ranch sauce (sounds weird, but trust us, it worked), but that is optional. A drizzle of queso would be another tasty option.
This recipe is perfect for lunch, dinner, or even appetizers. Slice this into mini handheld bites and all of your guests at your next party will be begging you for the recipe.
