Breakfast Tortilla Pesto Pizzas
Yields 1 personal pizza.
Ingredients
- 1 tortilla
Pesto
- ¼ cup nuts or seeds of choice—pumpkin, sunflower, walnuts, pine nuts, pecans, or almonds work well
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup spinach—kale, Swiss chard, or arugula will also work
- ¼ cup fresh basil—parsley, mint, or cilantro will also work
- ⅓ cup water
Suggested Toppings
- Thinly sliced potato
- Mushrooms
- Onions
- Corn
- Chives
- Spinach
- Greens
- Peppers
- Avocado
- Broccoli
Directions
- Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400°F.
- For the Pesto: Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process for 30 seconds—scraping down the sides a few times—until creamy.
- Pour onto tortilla and spread out evenly with a spoon. It should be a nice thick layer.
- For the Toppings: Prepare desired veggies as needed and arrange on top of the tortilla. Place tortilla on baking tray and bake for 10 minutes, or until it starts to brown and gets crispy and toppings are soft and cooked through.
- Remove from oven and top with avocado, salt, pepper, and any other favorite flavors. Cut into slices or roll up like a burrito. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips and Variations
- If you’re using avocado slices, don’t add them to the pizza until it comes out of oven.
