No need for tortillas when you want to enjoy the flavors of fajitas—this scrumptious Southwestern pizza serves up all your favorite fajita fillings on a hearty whole wheat crust. A zesty black bean mash stands in for traditional tomato sauce, while a colorful assortment of bell peppers, onions, and portobello mushrooms cooked in spicy seasonings adorn the creamy base. After baking it to golden-brown perfection, top the fajita pizza with a homemade lime crema and fresh cilantro leaves for the ultimate fusion of Tex-Mex and Italian favorites. Pro tip: You could also grill the veggies whole for an extra-smoky taste, then slice and toss them with the fajita seasoning.

Ingredients

  • ½ of a 12-oz. package firm silken tofu
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon lime zest
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
  • 2 cups multicolor bell pepper strips
  • 1 4-inch portobello mushroom, sliced (2 cups)
  • ½ cup sweet onion strips
  • 2 teaspoons salt-free fajita seasoning
  • 1 recipe Homemade Oil-Free Pizza Dough
  • 1 15-oz. can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained (1½ cups)
  • ¼ cup oil-free salsa
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  • For Lime Crema, in a small food processor or blender combine tofu, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, the lime zest, and garlic powder. Process until smooth, gradually adding plant-based milk until crema is the consistency of sour cream. Cover and chill until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large skillet cook the bell pepper, mushroom, onion, and fajita seasoning over medium-high 7 to 8 minutes or until vegetables are softened, stirring frequently and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking.
  • Place Oil-Free Pizza Dough on a large piece of parchment paper and roll into a 12-inch circle. Prick with a fork. Transfer dough (and parchment) to a baking sheet. Bake 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl mash together beans, salsa, and the remaining lime juice. Spread bean mixture over crust, leaving a ½-inch border. Top with pepper mixture. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until crust is golden and crisp. Drizzle with Lime Crema and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and, if you like, additional salsa.
