Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can reach (usually around 475-500°F or 245-260°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it preheats.

Prepare the Pizza Dough

• Dust a clean surface with flour or cornmeal and roll out the pizza dough into your desired shape (round or rectangular). Make sure it's thin for a crispy crust.

Make the Pizza Sauce

• In a small saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer over low heat for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Assemble the Pizza

• Place the rolled-out dough onto a pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet dusted with cornmeal or flour to prevent sticking.
• Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
• Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the sauce.
• Distribute the black beans, corn, bell peppers, red onion, black olives, and jalapeño slices evenly on top.
• Finish with the remaining shredded cheese.

Bake the Pizza

• If you're using a pizza stone, carefully slide the pizza onto the hot stone in the preheated oven. Otherwise, place the baking sheet directly in the oven.
• Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Garnish and Serve

• Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two.
• Sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves over the hot pizza.
• Serve slices of Mexican vegetarian pizza with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor. Squeezing fresh lime juice over the pizza adds a delightful zing.
