Ingredients

• 1 pre-made ball or homemade batch Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup (fresh or frozen, thawed) Corn kernels
• 1 cup (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained) Black beans
• 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
• 0.5 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) Cilantro
• 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) Fresh lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or rectangle, depending on your baking sheet or stone.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.

Step 4

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the dough and brush it evenly across the surface.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the oiled dough.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the pizza, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 7

Top the mozzarella with corn kernels, black beans, red onion slices, and cherry tomato halves. Spread them evenly to ensure each slice gets a pop of flavor.

Step 8

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the toppings for added richness.

Step 9

Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Carefully remove the pizza from the oven. If desired, garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a zesty finish.

Step 11

Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve. Enjoy your Smoky Corn Black Bean Pizza!
