Main Ingredients:
3/4 pound ground beef (95% lean)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can (15 ounces) seasoned diced tomato sauce for chili
3/4 cup rinsed, drained black beans
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
6 pita breads (white or whole wheat)
6 slices reduced fat Cheddar or mozzarella cheese
Chopped fresh cilantro, dairy sour cream, bell pepper, ripe olives (optional)
Directions:
- Heat oven to 450F. Brown ground beef with onion in large nonstick skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until beef is not pink, breaking beef up into 3/4-inch crumbles. Do not drain. Stir in tomatoes and beans; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Place pita breads on large baking sheet. Spread beef mixture evenly on breads. Cut desired shape(s) out of each cheese slice with cookie cutters or knife. Place cheese cut-out(s) on each pizza.
- Bake in 450F oven 3 to 4 minutes or until beef topping is hot and cheese is melted. Garnish with cilantro, sour cream, bell pepper and olives, if desired. Makes 6 servings.
Recipe Tips:
- One prebaked thin pizza crust (10 ounces) may be substituted for the 6 pita breads. Bake pizza in 450F oven 8 to 10 minutes.
