An easy and delicious healthy no cook vegan meal!
Happy August! August just happens to be my favorite month of the year because tomorrow is my birthday 🙂 And, my mom is getting here today so I’m extra happy! I’m also pretty excited about these Guacamole Pita Pizzas.
Ever since I made these Mediterranean Chopped Salad Pitas I’ve been kind of obsessed with quick and easy no cook meals that involve pita bread. And, it doesn’t hurt at all when they also involve avocados.
This recipe is really simple and easy, but also delicious and fresh. It’s loaded with veggies and also has a little protein from the black beans. And, who doesn’t like avocados?!
Today is also the first Thursday of the month, which means 30 minute Thursday! Don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of the page for a few more delicious 30 minute dinner recipes from some of my blogger friends 🙂
Check out my video and I’ll show you exactly how to make these Guacamole Pita Pizzas 🙂

Happy early Birthday, Izzy! I hope you have a great weekend with your Mom! These pizza’s look right up my alley! I love using pita or naan for pizza – makes things super fast and easy!
These look great. A good guacamole is one of the best foods in the universe!
Thanks! I agree 🙂
Do you have the calorie count and nutritional info?
I don’t currently have it but will try to get it up soon 🙂
What is nutritional yeast?
It’s a deactivated yeast that has a nice cheesy nutty flavor. A lot of people use it in vegan cooking for a nice cheesy flavor. You can easily omit it form this recipe though and it will still taste good!
Ever feel like you’re beat up by the world? Solution: make this beautiful and healthy meal for yourself. I sat down and looked at my plate with this incredibly colorful and delightful food looking back at me, knowing I am doing something good for myself. I forgot the lime and cumin, well, I made it somewhat differently: spread warm refried beans with black beans and corn then loaded my whole wheat half pita with avo, radishes and halved grape tomatoes . There was also some sliced cukumber and a little dip. I feel so much better.
Aww, your comment made me so happy, Susan!! A good meal can definitely make me feel better when I’m feeling down! So glad you enjoyed this one and I love your additions 🙂
Well, another little masterpiece…. or two, inspired by Izzy’s recipe here. You know, the best thing about this recipe is that she doesn’t lock you into a set of ingredients. You are free to make your own style and add whatever you want, that is on hand. I, for instance this time, just happened to have some Avocado Ranch dressing leftover from a recent salad so I just added the Cumin, lime and Nut. Yeast. I spread some organic refried beans onto two whole wheat sandwich thins then topped with organic black beans and corn then drizzled the dressing over them and added avocado and cucumber. I feel truly inspired. ????

I’m so glad you enjoyed!! And I love all your additions! Especially the avocado ranch dressing! 🙂
This was so delicious!! What is the calorie count for this?
Thank you! I don’t currently have it up but I’ll try to get around to figuring it out 🙂
I want to make this for group, but it will have to set for a couple of hours. will the pita get soggy if I make it 1-2 hours ahead of people eating it? Thanks!
I Diane, hmm, guacamole typically doesn’t do well when it sits out for a while so I’m not sure if it would work super well to make it 2 hours ahead of time. I don’t think it would get too soggy but I’m just a little worried about the guacamole getting brown. It might work if you covered it with plastic wrap and made sure to keep it cold though 🙂
If you add a few drops of lime to the avocado, or anything really (works for apples, and others) it will prevent the brown coloring. Any, like she said, keep it cold.

so you don’t cook the pita or anything and it still is yummy? hm! interesting. next you should do one for a hummus pita pizza!!
My pita was pretty soft so I didn’t cook it but it would work great too if you wanted to crisp it up a little bit! I actually already have a hummus pita pizza recipe on here! You can find it here 🙂
I am looking to surprise my wife with this. For the beans, are they cooked?
Yes, cooked! Good luck!
This is one of my favourite recipes! I make it for everyone now 🙂
