Creamy blended black beans and tender roasted veggies are spread on warm pizza crust and drizzled with vegan tahini nacho cheese to make this spicy and delicious vegan Mexican pizza.

I had a brief laugh with my husband while I was photographing this one, after declaring I was going to name it That’s Nacho Vegan Mexican Pizza!

Okay, so I actually did name it that in a first draft of the post, figuring anyone who stuck it out with me and my dorky nacho humor after this post was in for the long run.

This pizza is in fact like a plate of nachos, in pizza form, and while nacho pizza sounds like a big pan full of regret, this take is actually reasonably healthy. Creamy black bean spread? Check. Roasted veggies? Very healthy. Tahini nacho cheese? Way better than anything that ever came out of a cow.

Not only was this pie (leaning towards) healthy, but it might have been my favorite pizza ever, and it was super easy to boot. Blend up the beans and swirl up the sauce while crust and veggies roast, then throw it all together.
