You heard me correctly! Mexican. Breakfast. Pizza!

I couldn’t tell you why, culturally, I like to eat beans with breakfast, but I always have. However, there are only so many ways to do breakfast burritos before you get bored. Enter the Mexican pizza. Inspired by the not-so-classy Taco Bell dish, this is a super healthy, vegetarian version that will keep you full all morning. Plus, if you get your proportions right, you can eat it like a pizza!

Here, I jazz up your average refried beans as unfried beans—all of the fiber, way less fat! Pulsing spinach into the beans adds a hidden serving of greens that even the pickiest eater won’t detect! Bon appetit!

Mexican Breakfast Pizzas

prep time: 5-10 minutes, cook time: 5-10 minutes (serves 2)

• 2 flour tortillas (8″-10″)
• olive oil
• 1 large handful spinach
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 c. salsa, more to top
• salt
• 3 eggs, whisked
• shredded cheese (optional)

Preheat oven to 350.

In a food processor, combine 1 can of drained and rinsed black beans with 1/2 cup of salsa, a drizzle of olive oil, and a handful of spinach (baby spinach or stems removed). Pulse until it reaches a hummus-like consistency. Salt to taste. Heat in microwave or on stovetop.

Place 2 tortillas on a baking sheet in a single layer and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned and crisp.

Whisk together 3 eggs and scramble, cheese optional.

Place each tortilla on a plate. Spread the bean mixture onto the tortilla, divide the eggs evenly between the servings and sprinkle with cheese. If you are deeply ambitious, broil it for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.

Add toppings to your heart’s content! Slice 4 ways with a pizza cutter, or dig in with a fork and knife. Bonus points if you serve it with a Tequila Sunrise.

Optional toppings:

• Hot sauce/sriracha
• Salsa
• Leftover roasted veggies
• Sauerkraut (don’t @ me, ‘kraut is good on everything)
• Sliced avocado
• Pico de gallo
• Shredded lettuce
• Sliced black olives
• Pepitas

This is, quite literally, one of the easiest breakfasts you’ll ever make. It’s so fun to get creative with your pantry staples! We tried to get a picture of these, but accidentally devoured them instead. Oops!
