Tortilla pizza is the perfect summer picnic dish that can be prepared quickly and easily even outside the home. This recipe will be especially relevant for those who do not like to mess with the dough.

Ingredients

For pizza:

• 2 wheat tortillas;
• 6 slices of ham;
• 1 glass of grated cheese;
• ¼ sweet pepper;
• a handful of cherry tomatoes;
• a handful of olives.

For the sauce:

• a small bunch of fresh basil;
• a small bunch of arugula;
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove of garlic;
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• a pinch of salt.

Preparation

The star of this dish will not be so much the base of the tortilla as the sauce that looks like a simplified version of pesto. The classic pesto is made from basil and is complemented by parmesan and pine nuts. We eliminated parmesan and nuts, but added arugula, which will give a pleasant bitterness.

Mix equal parts basil greens (green or purple) with arugula. Add the garlic clove, salt and chop well to make a paste. Combine it with butter and lemon juice.

You can also use thick pita or pita sheets instead of tortilla. Pour the cakes with a fork and send them to the oven preheated to 220 degrees for 2-3 minutes.

Divide the sauce over the two tortillas and add any filling you like, such as cheese, ham, cherry tomatoes and olives.

Return the cakes to the oven for another 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges of the base are golden brown and crispy.

If you decide to cook such a dish over a fire, then place the pizza over the cooling coals and cover it loosely with foil. After 2-3 minutes you can start tasting.
