Mexican Pita Pizza

We’ve all been there. It was a long day, you’re tired and in the mood to order a pizza. A greasy pizza that will satisfy your craving for bread, cheese and an easy dinner.

Stop. Right. There.

Put the phone down and pull out the pita bread and fresh corn salsa. It’s time for easy, peasy Mexican pita pizza! This meal will take you 15 minutes to throw together, and it’s much healthier and fresher than your go-to delivery pizza.

This is a unique spin on the typical American pizza. We’re talking corn salsa instead of tomato sauce, black beans instead of pepperoni. What?? We know what you’re thinking, can it really be called pizza? Our vote is yes, it can, because it’s a circle-shaped piece of bread covered in delicious toppings and baked in the oven until the crust is golden and the cheese is gloriously melted. And you can cut it into cute, miniature slices with a pizza cutter.

So yes, please welcome Mexican pita pizzas to your weekend pizza-night menu.
