Bruce Tretter Presents...Kid-Safe Tortilla Pizza


Here’s a quick and easy tortilla pizza my then 10 year old daughter taught me years ago that kids can make on their own safely for either a snack, lunch or dinner.

Preparation Time: 1 minute
Cooking Time: about 45 seconds

Ingredients

1 Tortilla
Favorite Tomato Sauce
Grated (or sliced) Mozzarella Cheese
Favorite Pizza Topping

Equipment

Microwave Oven Safe Plate
Tablespoon
Table Knife
Potholder or Folded Dishtowel (not really necessary because plate won’t get that hot)

1. Lay a tortilla on a microwave oven safe plate, and use a tablespoon to spread a thin, even layer of tomato sauce over the entire tortilla.

2. Cover the sauce with grated cheese and either leave it as is or top half the cheese with your favorite pizza topping.

3. Quickly and carefully fold the tortilla in half.

4. Put the tortilla pizza in the middle of the microwave oven, and cook using HIGH heat or 100% power for 45 seconds. NOTE: Cooking time may vary depending on microwave watt output power.

5. Use a potholder or folded dishtowel, if needed, to remove the cooked tortilla pizza from the microwave oven. The tortilla pizza is done when the cheese has melted.

6. Use a table knife to cut the tortilla pizza into 2-4 pieces and serve warm.
