Tell me, what screams Happy Friday more than pizza?
What about…
- 15 Minute Pizza
- Healthy Pizza
- High Protein Pizza
- Even-your-dog-could-make-it Pizza
- Spilling boiling water on your finger as you pour your morning tea (I screamed all right but it wasn’t Happy Friday…)
*ices finger*
This is another Quick & Dirty recipe that I just fell in love with this week. It involves my 5-Ingredient vegan cheeze sauce, as well as a handful of other healthy ingredients that are quick to throw together.
Sometimes the best meals are the spontaneous ones. Sometimes the worst meals are the spontaneous ones. Sometimes the biggest flops are the one you dream about and plan for days drawing out detailed instructions, ingredients, maps, and brainstorming trees.
It all evens out, especially when there is pizza involved!

Cheezy Tortilla Pizzas for Two (Or 1 if you are greedy like me)
I will be collecting tips in my tip jar at the end of this post thankyouverymuch.
Yield: 2 pizzas
Ingredients:
- 2 tortillas (I used Food for Life Ezekiel tortillas)
- 1.5-2 cups cooked black beans (or one 15-oz can)
- 1/3 cup 5-ingredient cheeze sauce
- 3 tbsp minced fresh Parsley (or herb of choice)
- 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 avocado, chopped
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt (to taste) and ground cumin spice, to taste
- Pizza sauce
- Sprinkle of Daiya cheese or other non-dairy cheese
1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment or non-stick baking mat.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the drained & rinsed beans, cheeze sauce, parsley, onion, pepper, and seasonings until combined.
3. Place tortillas on baking sheet and add your desired amount of pizza sauce on top. Divide bean mixture between two tortillas and spread with a spoon.
4. Sprinkle on cheese and bake for 10 minutes at 350F and then broil for 2 minutes on low heat until golden. Watch closely as it can burn quickly on the broil setting…and no one wants a pizza burnt to crisp. I’ve been there. It ain’t pretty!

Simply mix up your cheeze sauce, beans, veggies, and seasonings in a bowl.
Add on your pizza sauce and then divide the bean mixture between the two tortillas.
Add a sprinkle of your fav cheese! My favourite vegan cheese is Daiya cheese (it’s soy free too).
Bake for 10 minutes at 350F and then broil on low for 2 minutes to crisp.
Voila.
Easy pizza that’s high in protein, flavourful…
and reeeeeeally fun to slice up.
But not fun to wait to eat while I take these pictures!
You can enjoy the pizzas many ways, including slicing them into mini pizza slices.
and then stuffing in your face.
I could not do this as I was still taking pictures.
Or fold it up and enjoy it Calzone style…
I could not enjoy this Calzone as I was still taking pictures.
You can also slice, roll, and make cute little appetizer pinwheels!
Immediately after this photo, I devoured the pizza. All was well in the world again.
Now, I’m craving leftover pizza for breakfast, except there are no leftovers because I ate it all. Hrmph.
Quick and easy meal! I love it… I can see the crust being SO crispy!
I bet these are amazing! Nothing screams Friday more than a pizza… in fact, I think I’ll make this tonight! We’re leaving for Edmonton in the morning for a 1/2 marathon on Sunday. Need to pack in healthy foods before the event. Have a great weekend :)
These look great! I almost bought Ezekiel tortillas the other day, and now I wish I had!
I must make this topping! It looks delicious!!
Although, I am one of those people that just can’t consider pizza toppings on a tortilla a “pizza.” Pizza needs a crust. A real crust, that’s thick and chewy and can withhold as many veggies as I want to dump on it. But what do I know, I’m too picky for my own good, lol.
What an interesting combination of toppings for a pizza! It looks delicious!
My favorite 7-ingredient recipe:
Curry Cauliflower, Chickpea, Sweet Potato Soup
1 large box of broth/stock
1 head cauliflower
2-3 sweet potatoes
1 tsp. turmeric (optional)
½ tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. salt & ½ tsp. black pepper & pinch red cayenne pepper (optional)
1 can chickpeas
1 bag spinach (or add chopped greens of your choice…beet greens, collards, kale…)
1. Peel and cut sweet potato into 1/2” slices, place in pot with stock, cook about
10 minutes
2. Add broken up cauliflower to pot, boil an additional 10 minutes
3. Use immersion blender and blend soup into desired consistency (do this
before adding the turmeric or curry or the spices will stain your blender)
4. Add turmeric, curry, salt & pepper(s)
5. Add chickpeas
6. Add greens
Adjust seasonings to taste
If soup is too liquidy, add a scoop of cooked brown rice or more greens
I can’t wait to try these!
I just made this for lunch! DEE-licious!
Thanks for another great recipe.
Yum, I really got to try this vegan cheeze sauce.
I love the idea of mixing the cheeze sauce with the other toppers. I’m thinking hummus would be good used in the same way… And now I’m hungry for pizza even though I just had lunch! :-)
These look phenomenal! I wish I would have saved ‘pizza day’ for today. I made myself pizza for dinner last night, but this pizza looks 10x better! :)
I think we are all convinced on these amazing pizzas. I like to make pizza every Friday actually and what a fun way this is too switch it up. Really, though… they are so healthy too. Win-win, right!
:)
This brings my love of cold pizza to a whole new level!
YUM.
That looks very tasty! I like thin crust pizza, so tortillas work well for me. Love how you mixed the cheez sauce with the beans and veggies. Yum! :)
I just went to the store to buy the ingredients for this because it looks so amazing!!
You are such a cute writer. The “hrmp” at the end made me laugh. Keep up the great writing!
Oh this looks so freaking delicious!!!!
YUM! This looks incredibly tasty and fresh! I love quick, easy yet delicious meals!!
That is the best looking pizza I have seen all week.
Looks great. I love a simple and quick recipe during the summer when I would rather be outside playing than inside cooking!
