This is an extremely easy/fast way to prepare a delicious pizza that is light enough to be a snack, serves well as an appetizer, or is so good that is can be devoured alone! I make this often when entertaining guests and it always goes fast. You can make any sort of topping variations. The one below is the classic way I usually prepare it. I cook this also with my family. Each person gets their own tortilla to, as my kids say, decorate.

TORTILLA PIZZA

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 flour tortillas
2 roma tomatoes, sliced
2 fajitas, leftover from Fajita Skewers, recipe follows
1/2 cup shredded Jack cheese
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon chili powder
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 green peppers
2 medium onions
1 1/2 pounds top round
1 cup sour cream, to serve
2 tablespoon chopped cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Put the tortillas on 2 baking sheets. Top each tortilla with the sliced tomatoes. Divide the beef and vegetables from the leftover Fajita Skewers over the tortillas. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top and bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and golden and the tortillas are crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer to serving dishes and serve.
  • In a large resealable bag, mix together the lime juice, garlic, hot sauce, canola oil and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove 1 tablespoon of the marinade and set aside.
  • Slice the peppers and onions into one inch square pieces. Place in the bag with the marinade. Slice the meat into thin strips against the grain and put into the bag with the marinade and vegetables and mix well to coat everything with the marinade. Place the bag in a large bowl incase it leaks and refrigerate for one and half hours.
  • Mix the reserved marinade with the sour cream and refrigerate.
  • If using wooden skewers soak in water for 30 minutes before threading on the beef and vegetables.
  • Remove the meat and vegetables from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Thread the beef and vegetables onto the skewers. Each skewer should get 4 pieces each of the pepper and onion and 3 pieces of the beef, alternating as you thread them onto the skewer. Cook the skewers on a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium high heat until meat is medium rare, about 3 to 4 minutes a side. Garnish with the flavored sour cream and cilantro.

TORTIZZAS



Tortizzas image

Inspired by California Pizza Kitchen's now-discontinued Greek pizza, as well as the Manhattan bar Our/New York's also-discontinued tortilla pizzas (affectionately called "tortizzas" by the patrons who remember them), this quick lunch or light dinner builds on a sturdy base of crispy, cheesy flour tortillas. A fresh mix of cucumbers, tomatoes and avocado, mounded atop the tortillas, makes you feel like you're eating a salad with your hands. Feta delivers sharpness and creaminess, as does the simple garlicky yogurt sauce that drapes each tortizza. A drizzle of honey at the end might sound out of place here, but it really brings together all the flavors, and is a popular dipping sauce for pizza in South Korea.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 to 4 Persian or mini seedless cucumbers, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 2 cups)
2 ripe medium tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 2 cups)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
8 (6-inch) soft flour tortillas
2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella
2 teaspoons dried oregano, za'atar or Italian seasoning
1 cup plain yogurt
1 large garlic clove, finely grated
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey, plus more for drizzling
1 cup crumbled feta
1 ripe Hass avocado, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems

Steps:

  • Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and heat oven to 400 degrees. Line two large sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • Toss the cucumbers, tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a colander set in the sink and toss to combine. Let sit to drain excess liquid, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, arrange the tortillas on the sheet pans, four per pan, and sprinkle each with the mozzarella and dried oregano. Bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, and the tortillas' edges are crispy but still pale, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • While the tortillas are baking, make the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, honey and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
  • To serve, evenly divide the drained cucumbers and tomatoes among the tortillas. Top each with feta, avocado and parsley, and spoon the yogurt sauce over everything, leaving some back to serve on the side. As a final flourish, lightly drizzle the tortizzas with honey. You can eat these flat like mini pizzas or folded like tacos.
