Thin Crust Pizza...using Tortillas as a base



Thin Crust Pizza...using Tortillas as a base. Pizza, Pizza, Pizza! Who doesn't like Pizza?
This pizza is so easy to make and it requires very little time to prepare. It is an ideal snack, appetizer or even light lunch for people on the go. It has become my husband's favorite pizza! The neat thing about this pizza is that you can get as creative as you want. You can make a cheese, a vegetarian, a meat lovers , or even a combo pizza. How about a gourmet pizza using high quality ingredients (various cheeses and meats)? Pizza margherita a favorite of mine...basil, cheese and thinly sliced tomatoes....yummm! Hope you enjoy...

Note: Sometimes I overload my pizzas...but it's nice to go minimal on the toppings, so that the tortillas don't get soggy.

cheese (you can experiment here with all sorts of cheeses or stick to mozzarella)
olive oil about (1 TBS) + more for drizzling on top

diced bell pepper
onion, diced
sliced mushrooms
chopped tomatoes
thinly sliced ham, chicken, sausage or any meat
sliced olives, etc.
