I am a closet A&E watcher.
When no one is looking I plop down in my favorite recliner {seriously, how old am I!?}, turn on the tv, and watch at least one of the billion Hoarders or Intervention programs I have on the DVR.
I just can’t help myself.
It’s kinda like driving by a car wreck and not being able to look away. You want so badly not to look but you just can’t stop yourself. The more I watch the more addicted I am to it. Maybe I should be on Intervention for watching too much Intervention.
Whatever. I don’t have a problem. I can stop watching anytime.
You don’t believe me?
*Sigh*
You are right. I don’t have the self control.
I also have very little self control when it comes to pizza. The melted cheese, the pepperoni, the crust. OH MY!
Pizza and training for a half marathon don’t exactly go hand in hand…all the time. That doesn’t mean I don’t crave it. So the other night I let the kids whip up a few of these with their favorite toppings. All of their pizzas resembled monsters, of course, because everyone knows a monster face pizza tastes SO much better. They loved it and I quickly fell in the love with the idea that I could whip one of these up for lunch when I get a hankerin’.
I’ve discovered a large tortilla makes more than enough so next time I’ll use a smaller tortilla when it’s just for me.
Ingredients
- 1 - 12" whole wheat or white flour tortilla
- a generous tablespoon of BBQ sauce
- 1/3 cup grated colby jack cheese
- toppings such as pineapple, pepperoni, green peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°.
- Place tortilla on a baking sheet. Spread the bbq sauce thinly across the whole tortilla leaving a small border.
- Top evenly with cheese and toppings.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges slightly brown and crisp.
- Cut and serve.
Yum! This looks so tasty!
never tried a tortilla pizza. does it stay crisp?
It’s great Angela! It does stay crisp but the trick is to not overload it with sauce or cheese. A little bit goes a long way!
I love tortillas for pizza crust. We grill them like this too, they are perfect!
Ooh, I am so saving this idea for when my nephew comes to visit and can actually eat solid food. So cute and fun!
I am all about thin pizza crusts, the best way to enjoy loads of toppings!
My wife and I have been doing something very similar lately with the oval shaped flat bread. It crisps up real nice and makes an awesome crisp thin crust pizza!
Oh I never thought to do this, what a great lunch idea!!
I’m loving the idea of tortilla pizza! So easy and quick. Your story and honesty cracks me up. I think we all have those moments and special shows.
Just wanted to let you know, we tried these today! Fabulous! We made sauce and cheese, and bbq chicken and cheese. Huge hit with the kids!!
Suh-weet! So glad you liked them Jen!
