Tortilla pizza burrito

First a disclaimer:

I truly cook to survive. It is not an interest, a passion or even an art for me. But my family must eat, and I am the designated chef (unless others are demanding equal time in the kitchen).

Several times each day I scan the shelves of the pantry and refrigerator, looking for something to serve at the next meal. I greatly appreciate those moments when other members of the household jump into the kitchen and create something new!



Kelly came up with this recipe and shopped for the ingredients for Tortilla pizza burrito. Guy assembled, cooked, and served the finished product.

Tortilla pizza burritos are extremely versatile. Them can be eaten warm or cold. If they are heated, they can be cooked in the broiler of the oven or heated in the microwave. Guy chose to use the microwave approach to save food preparation time.

For each Tortilla pizza burrito:

• Put 1 large flour tortilla on a glass plate.

• Spread with canned tomato sauce or salsa.

• Sprinkle with plenty of freshly grated mozzarella cheese.

• If you are not a vegetarian, add a few slices of low-fat turkey pepperoni.

• If you are a vegetarian, add your favorite pizza toppings (green pepper, olives, onions, etc.)

• If you like the pizza-style look of the unfolded Tortilla pizza burrito, warm it up in the microwave for 2 and 1/2 minutes.

The tortilla pizza burrito shown above, half-eaten!

• If you prefer a burrito-style dish, fold the stuffed tortilla and heat it in the microwave for 2 and 1/2 minutes
