Vegetarian Mexican pizza

A Vegetarian Mexican pizza

Inspired by the dish from our very own ubiquitous TACO BELL.  (Yes, indeed), this mexican pizza combines crunchy tortilla shells with fleshy avocados, zesty cilantro, beans and cheese for a delightful meal. Its very filling :)  And the kids love it...what more can one ask for when one feeds ever hungry teenagers?

Steps:

1.Open the can of beans and empty into a microwaveable glass container. Stir in and mix well the 1/2 spoon of Taco Seasoning and microwave for 2 minutes.
