Tortilla Pizza

When Scott is working nights and I'm looking for something decently healthy to make for dinner without really cooking, this is one of my go to meals. It's so much healthier than throwing together mac and cheese or fish sticks and the boys love making their own personal pizza. Serve with some crunchy veggies on the side and your meal is complete.


-A few whole wheat tortillas (I use the fajita size)
-Pizza sauce
-Shredded mozzarella cheese or Italian cheese blend
-Turkey pepperoni


Lay a piece of foil on a baking sheet and spray with Pam. Lay a few tortillas out on the foil and let your kids spread on a tablespoon or two of pizza sauce on each one. Next, let the kiddos sprinkle on their cheese and pepperoni (I always pour a little cheese and pepperoni in a bowl to make it easier for them). Don't let them layer on too much cheese...the tortillas will get too soggy with too many toppings. Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes. You want to make sure the cheese is melted and that the tortillas are crisping up, but not burning. I let the personal pizzas cool for a few minutes on a cutting board before slicing them in 4's and serving them up. Hope your kids enjoy this cooking project as much as mine do. Mine always clean their plates if they've had help preparing the meal (even when it's not pizza!).
