Ingredients

  • spray oil
  • 4 wholewheat, plain flour or corn tortillas (about 19cm/7½in diameter)
  • 1 small garlic
  • 400g/14oz can chopped tomatoes
  • ¼-½ tsp chilli
  • 125g/4½oz pecorino
  • 285g/10oz jar roasted red and yellow pepperspeppers
  • 70g/2½oz rocket
  • small handful fresh basil
  • flaked sea saltblack pepper
  • 2-3 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2-3 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Turn the oven ideally as high as it will go, making sure two shelves are in place - about 240C/220C Fan/Gas 8. Spray a bit of oil on two large baking trays and put two tortillas on each. Spray a little more on top of the tortillas and then rub the cut side of the garlic all over the tortillas - this gives the pizza extra flavour.
  • Divide the chopped tomatoes evenly between the 4 tortillas, spreading them out but leaving a 1.5cm/¾in border. Scatter over the chilli flakes, if using, and divide the cheese and peppers evenly over the top.
  • Pop both trays into the oven to bake for about 4-6 minutes (depending on how hot your oven is), or until the cheese has melted and the tortillas are crisp and golden-brown on their edges. Swap the trays around on the shelves half way through for even cooking.
  • Remove the tortillas from the oven and slide onto serving plates. Top with the rocket and basil (if using). Season with a little scattering of salt and pepper, then drizzle with balsamic vinegar and some extra virgin olive oil, if you fancy it.
