Mexican Pizza

Yesterday was one of those days. Everything I touched seemed to go wrong. As I was filling a bucket of water to wash the floor, I lost control of the laundry tub hose and completely drenched myself and the whole laundry room. After washing the floor and cleaning the kitchen, I spilled ground flaxseed everywhere and had to rewash the floor. And the day just went downhill after that.

It was a day that I knew would be short on time, and my daughter's orchestra was giving their Christmas concert last night. So I decided to make pizza for a quick easy dinner. It was on my list of things to make this week anyway. Earlier this week I overbought avocados, and now they were getting overripe, so I was also looking for a way to use them up. So I came up with this simple Mexican Pizza. Not really a recipe, just a guide. In spite of the day I was having, the pizza came out very tasty. It was a nice variation from the regular veggie pizza I make. Here's what I did.
