It’s hard not to LOVE pizza when you live in NYC, but with my dairy allergy I rarely indulge in a real NY slice. This means that I’m always trying to satisfy my pizza craving from home (which I don’t hate because I can “little adapt” it even more!) My favorite brand of tortillas and tortilla chips, Siete, now makes burrito sized tortillas which is a game changer. Note: They only sell it in store in the freezer aisle. I use their smaller tortillas to make breakfast + veggie tacos on the regular since they are so easy and taste amazing.
You might be wondering now – well why is this recipe about pizza?! Well, I’m all about that thin crust pizza and this tortilla is the answer. The crust gets super crispy on the outside, but is still thick enough to hold toppings and not fall a part. Plus, it only takes about 15 minutes to make if you keep the ingredients very basic 🙂 I figured this would be a quick + nutritious meal to try while we’re quarantined! (PS – I have not tried this with other burrito size tortillas, but imagine they would work very similarly!)
- 2 burrito size Siete tortillas
- ½ cup marinara or tomato sauce
- 4 tbsp vegan pesto sauce
- ½ cup vegan shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 heirloom tomatoes sliced
- ½ cup raw baby spinach
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- While the oven is heating, place parchment paper on 2 baking sheets and take the tortillas out of the freezer. Once the tortillas are thawed enough to separate, place each tortilla on the parchment paper and put the baking sheets in the oven for about 3 to 5 minutes. Note: Make sure to place the tortillas with the side that naturally curls up face down on the parchment paper.
- Take the pizza crusts out of the oven and top with tomato sauce, sliced tomatoes and shredded vegan cheese.
- Place back into the oven for another 7 to 10 minutes until the pizza crust gets nice and brown.
- Turn off the oven and take pizzas out to top with raw spinach + pesto.
- Place back into the oven for another 2 minutes to heat up the pesto and wilt the spinach.
- Let it cool for a few minutes. Then slice and serve with your favorite salad!
