PIZZA

Flour, for rolling
14 ounces whole wheat pizza dough, rolled out to 12 inches
Chipotle sauce
1/2 cup rotisserie chicken breast, shredded
1 cup Monterey jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup sweet corn kernels
1/3 cup black beans (rinsed and drained if canned)
10 zucchini slices, thinly sliced
3/4 cup mango, diced
Thinly sliced red onion
Cilantro
Fresh lime wedge (optional)

Takes 15 minutes, serves 4 (2 slices per person).

Preheat oven to 450°F. Place a baking stone in the oven to preheat (unless using a pre-baked store-bought pizza crust – then follow the package instructions).

Coat a pizza peel with flour and place pizza dough on top. Top pizza dough evenly with chipotle sauce. Add chicken and cheese, then follow with corn, beans and zucchini. Slide the dough onto the baking stone and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the crust is toasted and golden.

Remove from oven and top with mango. Add red onion and cilantro to taste. Squeeze fresh lime juice over pizza before serving, if desired. Cut the pizza into 8 slices.
