Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
- 1 egg beaten, for brushing the pastry
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion chopped
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, undrained
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 8 ounces Mexican chorizo
- 2 cups shredded Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1-2 jalapeños optional, sliced
- ½ cup snipped fresh cilantro
- 1 avocado sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Roll out the pastry onto a floured surface until it reaches a 12x12 inch square. Cut into four 6-inch squares. Transfer to parchment lined baking sheets. With a butter knife score a 1/4-inch frame around each square of pastry. Don't cut all the way through. Brush pastry squares all over with a beaten egg and set aside.
- In a skillet heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook about 3 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat; stir in beans, lime juice, and water.
- Transfer mixture to a food processor or blender. Cover and pulse until mixture is spreadable.
- In an ungreased skillet cook chorizo over medium-high heat about 5 minutes or until fully cooked, using a wooden spoon to break up chorizo.
- Spread the inside of each pastry square with black bean mixture, leaving the borders free.
- Top with cheese and chorizo and if desired, a few jalapeño slices. Repeat with remaining puff pastry squares and ingredients to make more pizzas.
- Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes until rising and they start to brown.
- Transfer pizzas to cutting bard; let cool for 1 minute. Top with avocado slices and sprinkle with cilantro.

Notes
- Skip the chorizo for a meatless version or add some veggie meat crumbles instead!
