Recipe for tortilla pizza
My recipe for tortilla pizza can be made in a matter of minutes. Less than 20 minutes in fact!
It’s a great option for a healthier pizza, as the tortilla base is not as bulky as a normal pizza base.
Plus if you want to have fun making pizzas with your kids but don’t want the hassle of making your own pizza base this is a perfect solution!
It’s also a really cheap dinner idea, and pleases everyone in the family!
To make the pizza you start with spreading some sauce on your tortillas. I like to use passata and adding a little bit of dried herbs – I use a pre-made Italian herbs mix which includes oregano and rosemary – adds a bit of flavour.
Once you’ve spread a thin layer of passata you then sprinkle on some grated cheese and add whatever toppings your child loves to eat!
If you are struggling to get your fussy eater to eat vegetables you could blitz some into the passata. Simply cook the veggies you want to use – maybe carrots and broccoli for example.
Then stir in the passata and place in a food processor to blend together so the veggies are hidden.
