Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 can corn, drained (or kernels from two cooked ears of corn on the cob)
  • ½ a medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 sweet bell peppers (red, yellow, and/or orange), chopped
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about one small lime)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • Four pieces of naan bread (one pack at ALDI)
  • 6 chipotles in adobo, plus sauce *see note
  • 1.5 cups shredded queso quesadilla (or cheese of choice)
  • 2 chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

  • In large pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Add corn, onion, chili powder, and cumin and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir, add garlic and peppers, and continue to saute over medium-high heat (stirring only occasionally) for another 10 minutes or until peppers and corn are browned.
  • Stir in lime juice, sea salt, and black beans and cook for another minute or so until beans are heated through.
  • Meanwhile, chop up six chipotle peppers.
  • Arrange naan on two rimmed baking sheets.
  • Spread chopped chipotle peppers plus a little of the sauce from the chipotles in adobo evenly across each piece of naan, then add queso quesadilla.
  • Top each piece of naan generously with the bean/corn/pepper mixture.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 14 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges and bottom of naan are browned, flipping pans around and switching oven racks halfway through.
  • Top with chopped green onions (optional), slice each naan into four small pieces, and serve.

Notes

This pizza will be fairly spicy, which I find to be a plus. If you are sensitive to spice or serving small children, however, you can alternatively brush the naan with olive oil and add just a little of the chipotle peppers & sauce to each.
