And just like that Cinco De Mayo is here!

I am actually in Salt Lake City this weekend for the Everything Food Conference as you read this, but Drew and I have spent the past week finishing up our kitchen cabinets and I am going to be so excited when we can finally enjoy our kitchen with closed cupboards! I’ve been working in the kitchen with open cupboards due to still painting them, and we still have boxes everywhere. I cannot wait to finally start organizing everything and finding a home for everything! We’ve been living in quite the mess and it is doing a number on my stress levels…

But do you know what I managed to cook up for you in the messy, plastic covered and taped kitchen?

YES ^^ MEXICAN PIZZA. Oh em gee. I am truly in love. I also shared this pizza with my uber pregnant bestie and her husband who also loved it. I am secretly (well, not-so-secret now…) hoping for a Cinco de Mayo baby 😀  Then we can have taco and Mexican pizza parties for the baby’s birthday… Okay, maybe not every year. 

Anyways… Does anyone else ever get sick of Mexican food? Because I’m just not sure I do. There are so many ways to enjoy the flavors. From tacos, to nachos, to skillets, to stuffed sweet potatoes, and now PIZZA. I want this pizza always and forever. It might just be a new favorite around here.

This Sweet Potato Black Bean Mexican Pizza has got it going on too with loads of good stuff!

steps to make sweet potato mexican pizza on flatbread

I’m not sure why we don’t make homemade pizza more often–it is so easy. And the great thing about this Mexican pizza is you probably have a lot of the ingredients in your pantry already.

I used a packaged pizza dough mix so you can go that route and use your favorite mix (gluten-free, grain-free, etc. I’ve heard Bob’s Red Mill and Simple Mills are great) or use a homemade version–which I did for this pizza.

You’ll want to cook down the diced sweet potatoes until slightly soft and then add the diced green peppers into the pan at the end to soften just a touch. You could also leave them raw.

Then you lay our your crust and layer on the salsa, cilantro, veggies and top with cheese. The pizza only takes about 10-15 minutes because most of the toppings are pre-cooked.

Top off the pizza with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, and maybe even a little sour cream if your heart desires.

    You posted this on the perfect day; and I love that you were able to pull off something like this even in a kitchen under construction. 🙂

    Sweet potatoes on TOP of a pizza? Sounds so clever! I think you can also make a mean crust out of sweet potatoes, or even regular potatoes too!

      I bet a potato crust would be so good!

    This pizza is as good as it looks in the photos. It was an impressive recipe to pull off during the days of cabinet painting.
