Vegan Pizza

I'm celebrating today's Cardinals victory over the Pirates by making my very first Vegan Pizza.  I used to make and enjoy a killer vegetable pizza, but since I’ve gone vegan I haven’t been able to enjoy it because of the mayonnaise/cream cheese base and the cheddar cheese topping.  So I decided to concoct a vegan alternative!

Make the crust: 
Lightly coat a large cookie sheet with olive oil.
Spread an 8oz and 4oz package of crescent rolls on the pan.
Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes as stated on package.

Make a guacamole batch to use as the pizza 'sauce' (this one is spicy): 
- 4 avocados
- Juice from 1 lime. 
- 1/8 cup chopped red onion. 
- 2 pressed cloves garlic 
- 1/2 can Rotel diced tomatoes (hot)
- Salt and pepper
Mash ingredients together. 

Spread guacamole on cooled crust. 
Spread 1 can of rinsed, drained black beans on top of the guacamole.

Spread 1-2 cups chopped veggies of your choice on top. 
- green peppers
- red peppers
- yellow/orange peppers
- red onion 
- shaved/sliced carrots
- (zucchini, squash, broccoli, cauliflower would be good too)

Sprinkle vegan mozzarella 'cheese' on top.  
Cut into 24 pieces. 
Serve cold.
