Tortilla Pizza

Spring fever has arrived.  It only took a dozen seed catalogs and a day of sunshine to have me cleaning, tossing, recycling and finally winding down to finish reading How I Learned To Cook by Kimberly Witherspoon and Peter Meehan.  I enjoyed it.  If you haven't picked it up, this book and Don't Try This At Home also by Kimberly Witherspoon are fun to read.  A quick glance at the clock sent me into the kitchen looking for something for dinner.  I chose this over peanut butter toast.  It was a good choice.






Tortilla Pizza

Flour tortillas
Pizza Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese
Pizza Toppings of your choice

Pizza Sauce ~

15 oz tomato sauce
4.5 oz tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup onions, minced
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1 tsp honey

Heat a medium sized saucepan with the olive oil.  Add in minced onions and garlic and cook for 2 minutes before adding in remaining ingredients.  Remember to crush the oregano and basil in your hands before adding to the sauce so they release their oils.  Cook for 10 minutes over a medium low heat until the sauce thickens.

Place flour tortilla(s) on an ungreased baking sheet.  Top with about 2 tbsp pizza sauce and then your favorite toppings.  Bake at 400° for 15 minutes until tortilla is crisp.
