EASY TORTILLA PIZZA
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.

TORTIZZAS
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.

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.
Tips:
- For the crispy tortilla pizza, use a large skillet or griddle to ensure that the tortilla cooks evenly.
- If you don't have a nonstick skillet, grease it lightly with oil to prevent the tortilla from sticking.
- Use a variety of toppings for your pizza, such as cheese, vegetables, and meat.
- For the savings salad, use a variety of fresh vegetables, such as lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
- Add a protein source to your salad, such as grilled chicken or tofu.
- Use a light dressing, such as a vinaigrette, to keep the salad healthy.
Conclusion:
These recipes are both delicious and affordable. The crispy tortilla pizza is a great way to use up leftover tortillas, and the savings salad is a healthy and refreshing side dish. Both recipes are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these recipes a try.
