Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. Lightly brush pizza crust with olive oil.
  3. If beans are stiff, stir to soften. Sometimes I mix the can of diced green chilies into the bean mixture and then spread it on the crust. You can sprinkle the chilies over the beans once they are on the crust if you prefer.
  4. Sprinkle the chicken over the beans.
  5. Next sprinkle the green onion, olives and tomatoes over the top.
  6. Top with the cheese. Drizzle Taco sauce over top of pizza if desired -- and sprinkle with a little chopped cilantro.
  7. Bake at 425 for about 10 to 12 minutes (until it is hot clear through, the cheese is melted and the crust is to your liking).
  8. Note: I have used the prepacked roasted chicken strips you find in the meat or lunchmeat secion at the grocery store. They comes with Southwestern sprices already on them. Otherwise, after I chop the chicken, I sprinkle a bit of taco sauce or tabasco sauce on it before adding it to the top of the pizza.
  9. We've also topped the baked pizza with some sour cream and guacamole.
