Preparing a Delicious Vegan Southwestern Black Bean and Potato Crust Skillet Pizza

To Make the Salad:

In a large mixing bowl, combine all the necessary ingredients and gently fold them together until well incorporated. Set aside.

To Make the Crust:

Heats the oil to a simmer in a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully distribute a uniform layer of grated potatoes across its surface. Ensure a thorough coating of the pan’s surface. Compress the sliced potatoes firmly using a spatula to ensure they’re densely stacked.
Flipped when golden brown and crispy, taking approximately 5-6 minutes per side to achieve the perfect texture.
Remove from pan. To absorb excess oil, gently pat with a paper towel for a few seconds before serving.

To Assemble:

Adorn with a generous helping of creamy mashed avocado, followed by a vibrant mix of black bean salad, a dollop of tangy sour cream, a squeeze of zesty lime juice, and a sprinkle of fragrant fresh herbs.
Slice the pizza into individual portions and present to your guests.
