1/3 cup cheese (any kind)
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon each basil and oregano
olive oil spray
salt, pepper
garlic powder
hot salt or cayenne pepper (optional)
Spray a tortilla with olive oil on both sides.
Season the top with salt, pepper, garlic powder and hot salt or cayenne pepper, if desired.
Mozzarella cheese is nice, but American, Cheddar, Provolone, Scamorza and Muenster cheeses also work well. This is a good way to use up cheese ends often available at the deli. Cut the cheese into 1/2" X 1/4" chunks. Have your ingredients ready for quick assembly on the hot pan as it continues to heat up.
When the pan begins to get hot, place the seasoned tortilla in the center of the skillet. Mound the cheese in the center of the tortilla, leaving a 1" margin around the edge of the circle. Allow a few minutes to go by, (don't walk away!) and as the cheese is partially melted and the skillet is becoming quite hot, pour the sauce over the cheese. Reduce heat at this point if needed, but the goal is for the tortilla to become golden brown and crispy.
Sprinkle the remaining seasonings over the sauce and drizzle with a few random drops of olive oil.
When the sauce is heated and the tortilla is golden brown underneath, use a large spatula to carefully transfer it to a dish.
Season with salt, pepper, and hot salt to taste (if desired) and roll up or cut into 4 triangle wedges or two halves for serving.
Each tortilla pizza makes one serving.
Simple, made with ingredients usually on hand, faster than thawing those tasteless frozen pizzas and so good!
Note: If you have flatbread or pita bread on hand, these can also be used for the crust. Spray with olive oil and proceed as above. Split pita bread by cutting along the side to make two circles. Place the crust part down. Pita will need a longer cooking time because of the added thickness, or simply place the pre-assembled pizza under the broiler instead.
