Tortilla Pizza

When you are tired or when you get unexpected guests, what would be your ideal recipe? Well, here is a recipe that takes no more than 10 to 15 minutes to get straight to the serving table.
It is loved by children and adults alike and is healthy too, does that sound too good to be true?
Well, here it is:

Tortilla Pizza:

Ingredients:
1 packet Flour Tortillas (about 10 tortillas in one pack)
1 large mushroom or a handful of the small ones (sliced)
1 medium sized onion (sliced)
1 large pepper – can be any colour (sliced)
2 chillies or 1 jalapeño – optional (sliced)
4 slices of cheese (or use a cupful of grated cheddar)
Hot and Sweet sauce, I used this but you can use any you have handy

Recipe:

1. As you can see in the picture above, first ensure all the vegetables, including chillies are sliced

2. Heat a non stick frying pan on medium heat (do not add any oil)

3. Add one single tortilla onto this pan

4. While the tortilla is in the pan, add a slice of cheese on the tortilla, then some slices of pepper, mushroom, onion and chillies – spread them as you would for a pizza. Then sprinkle some sauce (as shown in picture below)

5. Now place one more tortilla on top of this, straight in the pan

6. Now flick (turn over) the tortilla in the pan to cook the new tortilla you have just added. (I take this out in a plate and place another plate on top and then just turn it over and place back in the pan.)

7. Add another layer of cheese, vegetables, chillies and sauce once more

8. Finally place one more tortilla on top of this. Flick the tortilla again to heat the new tortilla you have just added.

9. You should now have a layer of 3 tortillas with filling in the middle

10. Remove from heat and slice, enjoy with sauce/chutney of your choice


When our family and friends try these, all you can hear is mmmm and ohhhh, as they realised how hot and yummy the bite was! They quickly sip on their beers and reach out for more…

Tips:

• Tortilla packets can be bought and frozen, so they are waiting for you when you need them.
• This recipe is meant to be a quick snack, starter, appetiser or a light main meal. If you do not have the vegetables mentioned here, be creative and use the ones you have that you feel would also work. Same with the sauce and chutney, use what you have and like.
  
  Then sit back and enjoy!
