Recipe Introduction
A vibrant red-, yellow- and green-topped pizza is a colorful and delicious way to incorporate vegetables into your diet. If one jalapeño doesn't provide enough heat, sprinkle the pizza with red pepper flakes after baking.
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
1 prepared pizza shell or crust (about 12 inches)
1 cup cooked kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 tomato, chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeño pepper,* finely chopped
1/4 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
*Jalapeño peppers can sting and irritate the skin; wear rubber gloves when handling peppers and do not touch eyes. Wash hands after handling.
1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Place pizza shell on ungreased pizza pan or baking sheet.
2. Arrange beans, corn, tomato, cilantro and jalapeño over pizza shell. Sprinkle evenly with cheese.
3. Bake pizza 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned. Garnish with green bell pepper, if desired.
