Note

To make this pizza meatless, omit the ground beef and increase the beans to 3 cups total, mashing 2 cups for the sauce.

Cover the guacamole with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface to prevent browning. Chill until ready to serve.

For a fully vegan version, substitute the Monterey Jack cheese with a vegan cheese alternative.
