Mexican Pizza

MEXICAN PIZZA

                                                  

INGREDIENTS

-(2) 8 inch tortillas
-1 can refried beans
-Salsa ( I will post my salsa recipe in tomorrows daily recipe)
-Large sliced onion
-1 sliced mushroom ( baby bella ) is what I use
-diced tomatoes
-shredded cheese
-parsley
-Basil





PREPARATION      Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C ).  An hour before making the pizza , dice the tomatoes and place them in a container with a lid. Sprinkle the dried basil (to taste) over the tomatoes and secure the lid tightly. Shake until the basil covers all of the tomatoes evenly. Place the container in the fridge and let it sit until you're ready to make the pizza.


DIRECTIONS



      Place one tortilla on top of a small sheet of aluminum foil (use a baking sheet if you don't wish to use the foil), spread some of the refried beans evenly over top of the tortilla and cover that with the second tortilla and pop them in the oven for 5-7 minutes untill the tortillas start to crisp on the outside edge. Remove from the oven and spread salsa over the top tortilla almost to the edge ( if you are asking how much salsa always do it to your taste ) then, place onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and shreeded cheese evenly over the top. Return to oven for 15 min then ,0  remove from oven and sprinkle with parsley. Slice into wedges as you would in any pizza.


TIPS

 1) You can add bell peppers to this recipe as well.
2) Try useing whole wheat tortillas if you want to be a little more health consience
3) Anytime you are useing dried herbs rub the herb between your fingers this will release the oil and  
    will enhance the flavor of the dish.                                                                                                  4) Take the extra minutes to place the toppings evenly. This will make a better over all pizza.

MY 2 CENTS


      This has got to be a favorite recipe of mine, it is so easy to make and so yummy!.
Now of course if you want to add chicken or beef to this recipe and take out the onions or whatever you should always feel free to make every recipe you cook the way you like it! After all you are the one eating it, right? I consider this to be a fairly healthy dish even though it may be a bit high in carbs there is more than enough fiber to make up for it.
