Happy President’s Day!
Yesterday we drove back home and made a pit stop at my mom’s to celebrate her birthday. We kept it low key since my new lil niece was there and my dad and I have both been traveling. That means – Chinese take out! Oh yeah.
I picked up a pie and ice cream on the way for dessert. 
By the time I got home it was after 11pm and this morning I ended up running longer than planned because I had to get my car from Ben’s work. Long story.
Anyway. My fridge is kinda bare, but I was starving after my run. Plus it’s Meatless Monday!
Luckily, I was able to whip up a delicious pizza with my new Toufayan Flatbread the company sent me to try.
I think the crust is what really ‘makes’ a pizza and this was perfect. The flat bread is thick and chewy. They sell white and wheat options so you can take your pick. Make sure to toast it before spreading on the toppings and it comes out perfect.
Mexican Meatless Monday – Pintos Pizza
Makes 4*. Vegetarian.
Ingredients:
- 4 Toufayan Flat Breads
- 1 can low fat refried beans
- 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
- pico de gallo
- optional: cilantro, jalapenos, sour cream, avocado…
Directions: Toast flat breads. Stir beans with your favorite hot sauce. Spread a layer of beans on eat flat bread. Top with cheese and pico de gallo. Place in broiler until cheese is melted – this happens FAST so watch them and check every two minutes. Top with cilantro and sour cream to garnish.
Enjoy! 
*Note that I said this makes 4 pizzas, not serves 4. Because I want two of them to myself.
Question: If you can only pick ONE pizza topping besides cheese – what would you choose?

That is a TOUGH question. . . seriously. Maybe bacon? Is that gross?
Um hello delicious looking pizza! Why go out when we have such great alternatives when making it ourselves? But hmm, I think if I had to choose one topping I would say a veggie! Either spinach, basil, or tomatoes!

Basil! I always forget about basil.
I must be in the minority, but these sponsored posts seem SO disingenuous. I stop reading as soon as you mention some product you just happen to have on hand that some company just happens to have sent, never mind the teeny tiny font at the end in which you mention it’s a sponsored post. I usually skip your semi-homemade recipes anyway, but these in particular irk me. Ultimately, this is your blog and you will post as you see fit; however, I’ve been asking myself lately what it is that keeps me coming back to your blog. It’s certainly not your recipes or your selfies. I love your race recaps, but not even that lately. You won’t take a professional’s advice and follow a REAL plan to improve your running, which means I won’t be getting anything new from reading your recaps, not to mention your regular running posts. Be picky, be organized, clean up your blog, reexamine its purpose. I’m just someone who reads for free, but I want to continue reading, so I’m rooting for you!
I hear what you’re saying and appreciate the feedback. I’m never picky or organized by nature, and I’m not in a place to follow a real running plan just yet. Hope that doesn’t bug ya too much.
If you don’t have anything nice to say….
You know, I think the phrase should be, if you have nothing CONSTRUCTIVE to say, then say nothing. I don’t think I was being mean. I like RER enough to share my opinion. I’ve come across dozens of running blogs I couldn’t even name because they didn’t hold my interest, but RER is not one of those blogs.
pineapple, always! except for lately, I’ve picked up the tofuyan whole wheat pitas and made bbq chicken. soooo good.. I actually cant remember the last time I had a real pizza. pita pizza for the win!
My one topping would be sausage; but if we’re going MM, I’d pick mushrooms.
Yum what a great idea. My Mom makes Pita pizza’s all the time!
That looks really good!
My favorite pizza topping: mushrooms.
I love mushroom pizza. Hands down, best topping 🙂
I’ll go with roasted vegetables eg bell peppers and aubergine. Wait…does that count as 2 items???? 🙂
roasted red peppers!!
I love Toufayan flatbread!!! I moved and I haven’t been able to find it in my supermarket… but it is the best!! 🙂

My pizza topping would be green peppers. I love plain green peppers and cheese!
Okay, the other thing? Your pizza looks incredible. Even though I have a fiance….MOVE IN WITH US AND MARRY ME! Your food looks so good!
Pineapple
mushrooms or caramelized onions.
Caramelized onions are magical.
Mushrooms!
Italian sausage…so sorry, so not meatless! Favorite meatless topping is banana peppers 😉
Great idea with the beans! I love veggies on my pizza – onion and pineapple is my fav 🙂
The only thing I’ll tolerate on my pizza is pineapple.
ooh, beans instead of sauce. I like it! I’d probably go with bacon or peppers on my pizza, something to give it a little crunch. But honestly when it comes to pizza I don’t mind just cheese as long as I get to have pizza.
That pizza looks amazing! I would have to say tomatoes – I love whole tomatoes on my pizza. So delicious!
I never would have thought about using beans as a replacement for sauce on a pizza–that’s a really great idea! I love refried beans so I’m definitely going to have to try this one out. My choice of pizza topping would have to be jalapenos. I love how they spice up the pizza!
I love green peppers.
and tomatoes and spinach and pepperoni…
tomatoes or onions 🙂
I usually get tomatoes, onions and mushrooms on my pizza 🙂
Eggplant. Fried, obvs. It makes me sad that not many places outside of New England recognize the merits of eggplant on pizza.
I’ve never had that on a pizza! But, I love eggplant – I just think no place around here offers it. Boo.
These are my favorite things to make for lunch or dinner! I really love onions on my pizza!
Roma tomatoes!
Pepperoni, but since it’s meatless Monday, I’ll go with pineapple. Yours looks yum!
I LOVE pineapple, but never on pizza – isn’t that odd?
Meatball! End of story. And if it’s Monday it would be a meatless meatball topping. 🙂 welcome home. Morro bay looked so perty 🙂
jalapeños!
Spicy!
That pizza looks delicious!
My go to topping is pepperoni, which is the opposite of meatless monday. Olives if I’m going meatless. 🙂
Agree, pepperoni! But for a meatless opinion I would say broccoli…yum!
Oh my gosh, that pizza you made looks amazing!!! Going into this weeks rotation for sure!
