vegetarian

I just realized that I have hardly done a recipe for the vegetarians out there! I'm so sorry! This one is for you! A pizza which has vegetables on a tortilla! Sounds simple and filling! Two things that I love when dieting and eating health. It does not look like much work needs to go into it unlike putting on a corset! No sweating here!


INGREDIENTS

Whole Wheat Tortilla
1/4 c tomato, sliced
1/2 garlic clove
1 tsp parsley
1 c green bell peppers
10 rings of onion
1/2 c mushroom pieces or slices
2 oz part skim mozzarella cheese

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 and place tortilla on oven rack for 5 - 10 minutes on each side or to your desired crispyness. Watch carefully to prevent burning on the edges. Remove tortilla with tongs and place on cookie sheet. Apply tomato sauce (recipe below), cheese, onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers. Return to oven for 2 - 3 minutes or until cheese melts.
If you prefer softer vegetables, sautee before topping tortilla.
Tomato sauce:
Combine tomato, parsley, and garlic clove in food processor and pulse 4-5 times. Chunky tomato sauce is better for the crust of this pizza.
