Pizza is a family beloved dish. I can still recall that monthly indulgence in Domino’s (I always preferred Domino’s over Pizza Hut in India

I have never tried making Pizza from scratch, will try it very soon. But amidst the chaos of packing and unpacking, I was trying to clear the fridge with the stuff I could at that time. Saw some leftover corn tortillas… Sigh !! I couldn’t afford to make another batch of Fajitas or Quesadillas. S doesn’t like it that much. With the deliberation of using every existing thing in the fridge, I tried these Tortilla Pizzas. It was so appealing and cheesy, drooling is not the right word to describe the feeling we got. J
Ingredients:
- 6 Tortillas ( I used corn tortillas, 6 tortillas will make 3 pizzas)
- 5-6 large tomatoes, chopped
- 6-7 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
- 1 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup capsicum, chopped
- ¼ cup corn kernels ( optional )
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp oregano
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 4-5 basil leaves
- 1 cup cheese ( I took half Mozzarella and half Mature Cheddar )
- 1 tsp red chilli flakes ( optional )
Method:
- Heat oil in a pan, fry minced garlic till pink. Add tomatoes, basil leaves and salt. Cook covered till tender and mushy, stirring in between. Sprinkle some water if gets dry. Keep aside.
- Take the tortillas. Spread a layer of cheese over one tortilla and keep another over it. This will stick them while baking, giving a cheesy texture.
- Now, spread the prepared tomato sauce over it. Sprinkle chopped vegetables over it.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 10 min.
- Take it out. Shower cheese over. Bake again for 5-6 min till cheese melts.
- Dust black pepper, Oregano and red chilli flakes on top.
- Enjoy piping hot !!

I love tortilla pizza as it is so easy to make. I usually do with pesto sauce and spinach, tomato and feta cheese, my favorite combo 🙂
Thats a wonderful combo Priya.. I will try that myself .. Love Feta cheese 🙂
