Equipment

  • Pressure cooker

Ingredients

Beans

  • ¾ cup dry beans think-skinned, like Mayocoba, pinto, black
  • Various bean spices bay leaf, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Pizzas

  • 6 oz vegetarian "meat" crumbles
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil to cook crumbles and brush tortillas
  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 4 oz cheese cheddar and Monterey jack, shredded
  • 3 scallions thinly sliced
  • 3 medium tomatoes chopped
  • ½ cup enchilada sauce
  • Green olives sliced, optional

Instructions

Beans

  • First, make the beans. Rinse and soak the beans in 1% salinity water for 6-10 hours. Drain and put in the pressure cooker. Bring to pressure for 4-8 minutes, depending on the type of bean. Allow for pressure to release for 25 minutes. Then release remaining pressure and drain beans, reserving some of the bean water.
    ¾ cup dry beans, Various bean spices
  • To a large skillet, add no more than 1 tbsp oil and heat to medium. Add the beans and 1-2 tbsp of the bean water. Mash as the liquid evaporates off – add more liquid if needed. You want the texture to be fairly smooth, yet still spreadable. When done, remove to a storage container, for now.
    1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt

Pizzas

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Prepare all of the ingredients, including cooking the burger crumbles according to the package directions.
    6 oz vegetarian "meat" crumbles
  • Place four tortillas on a flat surface. Stab all with a fork several times. Coat in just a bit of oil, 1 tbsp or less. Cook on baking sheets, in rounds if needed, flipping ever 3-5 minutes. You want them to stiffen and toast, but not get too brown.
    4 medium flour tortillas, 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • When done, make sure you have all ingredients and a clean assembly surface. Place two tortillas next to each other. Coat with a layer of the mashed beans. Then sprinkle the burger crumbles over top. Then add another of the baked tortillas. Coat with a very thin layer of enchilada sauce, about ¼ cup. Top with a layer of cheese. Add the diced tomatoes.
    4 oz cheese, ½ cup enchilada sauce, 3 medium tomatoes
  • Bake for 5-10 minutes in the oven, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven. Top with the chopped green onions and olive slices, if using.
    3 scallions, Green olives
