Veggie Tortilla Pizza

I guess this would really fall more under a food "idea" than a recipe, but I thought I'd share it anyway! This is a quick lunch idea, I actually ate it with the beet salad I posted yesterday, although it doesn't really need a side dish as it has enough veggies on it already. If you need a quick pizza fix with little guilt, try this out.

Veggie Tortilla Pizza

1 whole wheat tortilla
3 tsp. pizza sauce (or you could just use tomato paste if that's what you have.)
sprinkle of onion powder
sprinkle of Italian seasoning
1 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded
zucchini, sliced thin
green pepper, chopped
red onion, sliced thin
grape tomatoes, quartered

Preheat oven to 400. Place tortilla on a foil lined cooking sheet, or a pre-heated pizza stone if you have one, for 3-4 minutes, just enough to get it a little crispier. Remove from oven and spread pizza sauce on tortilla, sprinkle half the cheese and the onion powder and Italian seasoning. Top with all the veggies. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and place back in oven for about 5-7 minutes, until veggies are cooked and cheese is melted.

You can use any veggies you want, this is just what we had in the refrigerator. You could also throw on some turkey pepperoni, or canadian bacon if you wanted to do a meat version. This is one of those great recipes to help you clean out your fridge!
