Easy Personal Thin Crust Pizza
This is perfect for a snack, or for lunch or dinner when you have differing tastes. Everyone can add whatever they like.
Flour Tortillas, I use the largest size, but it would work equally well for a smaller size.
Lightly oil both sides of the tortilla, then lay it on your pizza pan.
Spoon some sauce on, not too much, just enough to lightly coat the tortilla.
Sprinkle on shredded Mozarella cheese, not too thickly.
Add any combination of your favorite toppings like pepperoni, cooked sausage, sauteed mushrooms, anchovies, peppers, bacon, tiny meatballs, ham, pineapple, etc.
Pop it into a 450 degree oven for 8-10 minutes (I bake mine in the middle rack of the oven) or until it is browning on the top. Check it a couple of times to make sure it is cooking the way you'd like.
That's it, no muss, no fuss!
