INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1/2 (16 ounce) can spicy fat-free refried beans*
  • 1 cup salsa, divided
  • 1 (12 inch) pre-baked Italian pizza crust
  • 2 cups shredded hearts of romaine lettuce
  • 3 medium green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup crumbled tortilla chips
  • 1 cup shredded pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese

DIRECTIONS

  1. Adjust oven rack to lowest position, and heat oven to 450 degrees. Mix beans and 1/2 cup salsa in a medium bowl. Place crust on a cookie sheet, then spread the bean mixture over crust. Bake until it's crisp and warm, about 10 minutes.
  2. Remove from oven; top with lettuce, green onions and dollop with the remaining salsa. Drizzle (or, if dressing has an easy-pour top, squirt) dressing over pizza. Top with chips and cheese, then return to oven and bake until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes longer. Cut into 6 slices and serve.

FOOTNOTES

  • * If you can't find the spicy variety of refried beans, then use the traditional kind and stir in 1 tsp. of chili powder.
