Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small mixing bowl, combine the rinsed black beans, diced onion, sliced black olives, diced red bell pepper, chopped basil, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan. Unroll the pizza dough and place it in the greased pan. Starting from the center, press out the dough with your hands to spread it evenly to the edges. Par bake the crust in the oven for 5 to 8 minutes.
Once the crust is par baked, spread the pizza sauce from the middle to the edges, leaving a 1/2-inch border of crust exposed. Spoon the bean mixture evenly onto the pizza. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Bake the pizza for 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Slice it into six equal slices. Top each slice with shredded lettuce and serve.
