I love it when you throw together a random dinner because you have nothing planned and it turns out awesome. This recipe was exactly that! I had no idea what to serve for dinner and was feeling lazy, so I looked in my refrigerator and freezer to find some leftover Spicy "Refried" Lentil Dip, tortillas, and a bunch of fresh veggies. Next thing we knew, we were eating a new favorite quick meal! We call it Mexican Pizza because of it's crispy tortilla crust layered with creamy lentil filling and topped flavorful ingredients. It was tasty and hit the spot. The kids loved it too, especially building their own.
I love that you can make each person their own pizza, and customize it for their preferences! These are the kind of meals that make everyone happy, even the feisty 2 year old. You can add as many or as little toppings as you want, spice it up or make it mild. There is so much versatility in this recipe, you can't go wrong! So gather your beans and fresh veggies and give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!

Looks delicious! I've got two little boys at home that I could also call "feisty" and this will definitely make them happy as well. Will give this one a try 🙂

Lol! I got them involved with selecting and putting on their toppings and they loved it! Just omit the peppers in the Refried Lentil Dip so it isn't spicy for them. Or take out half before adding the peppers like I do because I love the spice! Let me know how it goes!
