DELICIOUS BLACK BEAN TACO PIZZA

Black bean taco pizza coming at ya!!

Peace Fam!

Back on the grid and I come bearing a gift, but before I address the Fiesta happening on your screen, Spring is in 2 days! Can you believe it?  Yesterday we enjoyed a day without the winter coats, hats, and gloves.

Temperatures reached the mid 60’s so the kids, and I took a stroll through the neighborhood and had lunch in the park.  You know it’s not going to last right? We savored the moment because our regularly scheduled late winter weather is on time with a sneaky system headed our way.

I can’t bring myself to say it; I just can’t. It begins with the letter “S”.   You guessed it; you’re so smart.  Until “it”<– — appears, PARTY OVER HERE!

Can I just say, I love this pizza!

Like …I’m about to count the ways how much I love this Pizza.  It’s vibrant in color, smeared in authentic flavor, melted in 3 kinds of cheese, drowned in fresh veggies, gently biting with jalapeno, crunchy golden tortillas all squared up in a crusty crust and sprinkled with cilantro leaves that rake in a taste of Summer essence that we’ve ALL been freezing our butts off waiting to devour this delicious black bean taco pizza.
