Are you a fan of CPK (California Pizza Kitchen)?? I love that place, we used to go there growing up and it was such a treat. We would always get the tostada pizza, it was a fam fave. Recently they took that off the menu, well you know I love recreating restaurant recipes at home. I recreated the Tostada pizza recipe but made into a flatbread bc I had flatbread that I need to use up. It’s a great recipe for a quick dinner or when you are entertaining/ hosting. Makes for a great app item or mains.
Try the recipe out along with this Chipotle Flatbread Pizza and have yourself a flatbread night! If you end up trying it don’t forget to tag me @Zheelicious. Can’t wait to see your creation.
Stay happy, stay hungry!
| Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 20 minutes | Total time:30minutes | Makes: 4 servings |
Ingredients:
- 1 flatbread or pizza crust
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 can of black beans
- ½ onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, shredded
- 1 jalapeno, chopped
- 2 tbsp salsa of choice

Ranch:
- ½ cup greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
- ½ lime juice

Directions:
Time needed: 30 minutes
- In a pan, heat some oil, add onion, garlic clove, and jalapenos. Cook for 2-3 minutes until all the veggies are softened. Add Salsa, taco seasoning, and cilantro.
Mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes. Blend all the beans with an emerging blender and set aside until ready to use.
- In a bowl mix together all the ingredients for the ranch, set aside until ready to use.
- On a flatbread spread the beans evenly on the flatbread. Top it with cheese, and bake in the oven for 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Once the flatbread is out of the over top it is off with the following: lettuce, jalapeno, green onions, onions, cilantro, tortilla strips, and a generous amount of ranch.
- Cut the tostadas into 4-5 pieces and ENJOY!!!
Notes:
- I bought the flatbread from Trader joe’s, you can use a store bought pizza crust or make at home if you like.
- Toppings are all optional but recomended
- You can use store bought ranch as well to make things even quicker.
- I found the tortilla strips at ShopRite in the salad toppers aisle, you can use crushed tortilla chips or skip completely.
