Using Leftovers Pt. 1 – Vegetable Fajita Calzone July 15, 2008

Continuing with the reducing waste theme, I used some leftover grilled vegetables and black beans to make a fajita style calzone for dinner and here’s how I did it.

First make a simple pizza dough.

let it rise

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and roll out into a square shape.

spread on black beans and sprinkle minced garlic on top

Get your leftover grilled vegetables out and chop them up.

Spread out vegetables over beans.

Close it up, trying to keep the dough even.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until the dough is lightly browned.

Slice and enjoy!

This turned out to be a great dinner for tonight. I was tired of fajita tacos and there were tonnes of vegetables left so this was a nice change but also helped use up some of the veggies. I also have made a Mexican style calzone before by cooking up some onion, bell pepper, whole black beans, corn and garlic and sticking that into the pizza dough. I really enjoy that recipe, so it kind of inspired this one.
