Tortizza


Another one of my pizza recipes made from tortilla base. I have made one before using a more Italian type of flavors here. This time, i tried a more Mediterranean style with sundried tomatoes, and tons of herbs. I especially liked this version better because it's so delicious and does not fill you up to the brim. It looks like a gourmet pizza from afar, but like Monet and his art, as you draw closer, everything is but a fuzz. loll

My partner came up with this name, I kinda like how it sounds - Tortilla+Pizza = Tortizza. It's a fitting name because the pizza's so flat, it looks like a savory tort :)

It's pretty simple to make. For the base, you need:
1 floured tortilla
2 tablespoon of your fav. marinara sauce/tomato paste
1 teaspoon olive oil

Rub the olive oil on the base first before spreading your marinara sauce on top. This is so your base won't turn soggy.

Toppings, I used:
1/2 zucchini, sliced
1/2 summer squash (yellow version of a zucchini), sliced
1/2 onion, sliced
5 black olives, pitted and halved
3-4 sundried tomatoes, sliced
fresh basil
fresh oregano
1 tablespoon parmesan
a handful of mozarella
salt
pepper

So start piling your zucchini and squash on top of the tomato base, then start adding your sundried tomatoes, olives, basil and oregano.

Spread your mozarella cheese on top and sprinkle parmesan at the very end to give it that slight crispiness at every bite.

Bake at 375 Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes. Serve.

This is a very rustic, fuss free sort of pizza. You can definitely serve this up for guest as they are very pretty to look at as well as delicious :)
