Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. If using dried beans, add salt, pepper, garlic, onion, chili powder and cumin in the last few minutes of cooking. Drain and reserve liquid. Carefully place mixture in a blender or food processor with enough bean liquid to allow machine to do its work and roughly purée, leaving the mixture a bit chunky. If using canned beans, add seasonings and warm mixture gently in a saucepan, stirring, just to take the edge off the garlic and onion. Then roughly purée.
- Place 1 tortilla on pizza peel or baking sheet and spread half the bean mixture on it; top with half the cheese and half the meat, if using it. Bake (on pizza stone, if using) for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle with half the cabbage. Bake another 5 minutes or so, until topping is hot and tortilla crisp on edges. Serve, cut into wedges, then repeat with other tortilla.

TLAYUDA WITH BLACK BEAN PUREE (AKA MEXICAN UNPIZZA)
This is the genuine article, an Oaxacan specialty. Not to be called pizza. Better than the sum of its parts, the texture is key. I served with a Louisiana hot sauce, you may want to serve with salsa if you are not into things too hot. Other beans would also work well with this. As published in the NY Times.

TORTILLAS IN BLACK-BEAN PURéE
Steps:
- Quick-soak beans:
- Put beans in a 4-quart pot and cover with water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and boil 1 minute, then remove from heat and let beans and water stand in pot, covered, 1 hour. Drain, discarding water.
- Cook beans:
- Return drained beans to pot and add 7 cups water. Add onion, garlic, and salt and bring to a boil, skimming froth. Reduce heat and simmer beans, partially covered, until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Do not drain.
- Make enfrijoladas:
- Purée 2 cups beans with 2 cups bean broth, including some of onion and garlic if desired, in a blender until smooth (use caution if puréeing while hot); reserve remaining beans in broth for another use.
- Heat a dry 10-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over moderate heat until hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Toast chile and avocado leaf, turning with tongs, until fragrant, about 10 seconds total. Open chile (wear protective gloves), then discard stem and seed cluster. Grind chile in grinder with avocado leaf to a powder.
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add bean purée and ground chile mixture and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened but still liquid, 5 to 10 minutes, then reduce heat to very low.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 1/2 cups oil in cleaned 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking.
- Have ready a heated serving platter. Add 1 tortilla to hot oil and soft-fry, turning over once with tongs, until puffed slightly but not crisp, about 10 seconds total, then lift out with tongs, letting excess oil drip back into skillet. Transfer tortilla to bean purée, submerging tortilla in purée, and spooning purée over it if necessary to completely coat top. Fold tortilla in half, using a metal spatula, and transfer to one end of warm platter.
- Fry and coat remaining tortillas, 1 at a time, in same manner, overlapping them on platter. Drizzle crema over tortillas and sprinkle with cheese, then serve enfrijoladas immediately.
