Directions
- Preheat the oven to broil and have a baking sheet ready.
- Thinly slice the red onion and set aside.
- Rinse and drain the black beans in a colander, letting them drain completely.
- Peel and mince the garlic.
- In a bowl, combine garlic, tomato sauce, and the listed spices until blended; set the mixture aside.
- Shred or grate the mozzarella so it’s ready to top the pitas.
- Top each pita with a thin layer of the tomato sauce, sprinkle with mozzarella, then add red onion, pineapple pieces, and black beans.
- Spread the toppings evenly, place the pitas on the baking sheet, and broil just until the cheese melts and edges begin to brown, about 2–3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rinse and dry the cilantro leaves, removing the stems.
- Remove from the oven, scatter cilantro over the pizzas, slice, and serve.
Two tips
- Prep some components ahead: chop the onion and cilantro early and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
- Swap ideas: use a different shredded cheese if needed, or add a pinch of crushed red pepper for extra heat.
