I love this pizza! I didn't put a full onion on it and I omitted the hot pepper, but otherwise, followed the recipe. YUM! I would have never thought mashed black beans would be so good on a pizza!

Although it takes awhile to chop everything and put it together, it is so worth it! My husband and I just love this recipe.

This was so, so good! I can't believe I didn't make it sooner. I processed the beans in a food processor and added a splash of lime juice & salsa for moisture. I also threw in a few scraps of chicken between the bean and tomato layers. I LOVED this.

This was fabulous!! The amount of onions is just fine. This recipe has a nice little 'kick' to it, but not too much. Of course, like garlic and peppers, onions are a matter of personal taste. My husband and I really enjoyed this meal.

The amount of onion needs to be decreased by more than half. I would not make this again as the recipe reads.
