Tortilla Pizzas



Obviously I haven't been feeling very adventurous in the kitchen over the past few weeks. Similar to my last post, tortilla pizzas are no-brainers. Except they are really mini geniuses. Look at all of the benefits:
  • Great way to use up old tortillas (how else does one eat 150 tortillas before they expire?)
  • Super fast (bakes in the oven for 15 minutes or less)
  • Customizable and creative (Italian? Mexican? American? It all depends on your toppings)
  • Cheap (tortillas + whatever you have in the fridge)
We used corn tortillas, so I instinctively went with Mexican pizzas (bottom pic). But my fiance actually created a very tasty Italian one using corn tortillas too (top pic).



Tortilla Pizza Recipe:
  • tortillas (corn, wheat, flour, gluten-free, whatevs)
  • toppings (whatever you want, below is for Mexican pizza)
    • tomato paste
    • refried beans
    • minced garlic
    • sliced red onion
    • sliced mushrooms
    • diced tomatoes
    • fresh cilantro
    • fresh arugula 
    • salt, cumin, chili powder, black and cayenne pepper
    • shredded cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Make tortilla pizzas (derp). Place them on a baking sheet, bake in the oven for 5 minutes and then check on them. Depending on how many toppings you added, they might be done already. I loaded mine up with beans, so it took another 10ish minutes to get a nice crispy tortilla crust. Enjoy!
