Nutrition Notes & Serving Notes
- Use whole grain tortilla for added fiber and B vitamins.
- The trick to keeping the pizza crispy is to toast your tortillas first, keeping cheese to a minimum, and not to overload with toppings to avoid it being messy.
- Customize it with veggies like onions, peppers, and mushrooms. The combinations are endless.
- Simmer vegetables before you add them so that they’re soft enough to bite into.
- Try to keep protein sources heart-healthy, like ground chicken or turkey pepperoni.
- Invite your kids to get involved – this is a great introductory recipe for kids (and teenagers) who are just getting to the point of learning to cook.
- Try making this into a Mexican pizza with mashed beans or lean ground beef, lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
