Combine 300 g of all-purpose flour, 6 g of salt, and 50 g of olive oil into the jar of a food processor.

Pulse the food processor about 10 times to mix the oil and salt evenly throughout the flour.

Stream in 180 g of cool water while the chopper is spinning.

Spin the food processor for another 10 seconds until the dough starts to come together.

Flip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 3 minutes.

Cut the dough into six roughly 80 to 90 g pieces and shape them into round balls.

Cover the dough balls with a damp towel and set aside to rest for 15 minutes.

In the same jar, add 2 cans of black beans (one not drained), 5 g of salt, 10 g of cumin, 10 g of onion powder, and 5 g of garlic powder.

Spin the mixture until the beans are well broken down and smoothish.

Taste the bean mixture and adjust if necessary.

In a preheated medium heat pan, add 450 g of Mexican chorizo and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, crumbling it as it cooks.

Once the chorizo has thickened and lost moisture, remove it from heat.

Flour a cutting board and drop one dough ball onto it, flattening it with your hand.

Roll out the dough to about 10 to 12 inches wide, flipping and adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Lay the rolled dough on parchment paper sprayed with olive oil.

Spread three large spoonfuls of the bean puree from edge to edge, leaving a bit of space around the edges.

Crumble about 75 g of chorizo on top of the bean puree.

Add 12 to 15 halved cherry tomatoes on top of the chorizo.

Transfer the pizza on parchment to a pizza steel in a preheated 500°F oven and bake for roughly 10 minutes.

While the pizza bakes, slice 2 to 3 radishes thinly on a mandolin and shred 1/4 head of red cabbage.
