Ingredients

2 ounces ham, cut into 3-inch strips (thinly sliced lunch meat works well)
1 can (15 ounces) or 1 1/2 cup cooked, rinsed and drained light red kidney beans or pinto beans
2 cups frozen or canned corn kernels
1 cup sliced green onions
3 cups chopped red or green bell peppers
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4-6 ounces (about 1-1 1/2 cups) pepper jack or mozzarella cheese, grated
4 pita breads
1 medium tomatoes, chopped


Directions

Spray small skillet with cooking spray. Cook ham over medium heat until crisp, 2-3 minutes. Coarsely mash beans in bowl; stir in corn, onion, bell pepper, oregano and half of the grated cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread mixture evenly onto pita breads, layer with ham and tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake pizzas on cookie sheet at 400 degrees until hot (about 10 minutes). Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake until cheese melts (about 2-3 minutes). 4 servings.
