Ingredients
  • spray oil
  • 4 wholewheat
  • plain flour or corn tortillas (about 19cm/7½in diameter)
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • halved
  • 400g tin chopped tomatoes (preferably with herbs)
  • ¼-½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
  • 125g/4½oz pecorino cheese (or a mature cheddar)
  • coarsely grated
  • 280g jar roasted red and yellow peppers
  • drained (about 175g/6oz of actual peppers)
  • 70g/2½oz rocket
  • small handful fresh basil leaves (optional)
  • 2-3 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional)
  • 2-3 tsp extra virgin olive oil (optional)
  • flaked sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
  • 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.
