Ingredients for Accidental Veggie Tortilla Pizza

  • 2 whole wheat tortillas (6-8 inch)
  • Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • Fresh Spinach
  • Sweet Red Pepper
  • Carrot
  • Fresh Tomato
  • 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

How to Make Accidental Veggie Tortilla Pizza

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Place two whole wheat tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese on each tortilla. Top each with another tortilla.
  3. Spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce evenly over each double-layered tortilla. Sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped spinach, 1/4 cup diced red pepper, 1/4 cup diced tomatoes, and 1/4 cup grated carrots over the sauce on each pizza.
  4. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese with 1 tablespoon cheddar cheese and sprinkle evenly over each pizza.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust edges are golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
