Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon OR 1 15 oz can black beans (drained and rinsed)

  • 1 medium red onion sliced
  • 1 small pineapple diced
  • 1 small bunch cilantro minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to broil. 
  2. IF USING BACON: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Chop the bacon into small pieces. Add to the skillet and cook until crispy, 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
  3. FOR THE SAUCE: In a medium bowl, combine garlic, tomato sauce, red pepper, paprika, onion powder and black pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.

  5. To assemble, top the pitas with a thin layer of tomato sauce, cheese, red onion, and pineapple. If using black beans, add to pizza here. Place on a baking sheet and cook in the oven for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese melts.
  6. Remove from oven and top with bacon (if using) and minced cilantro.
