So Maci and me had a long day today. It was crazy fun, but long. We started out with an awesome breakfast (my delicious, fluffy pancakes included). Then we went to visit my sister. We finally got to meet her beautiful little baby (my new niece), Isabella. It was great. We grilled burgers and dogs, roasted The Dark Knight Rises movie a few times, then headed home and picked honeysuckles.
Needless to say, no elaborate dinner was gonna happen tonight. It was either these or Ramen. We do both love Ramen though.
Still happy we chose these. They’re super quick, easy and very addictive.
Start out by setting your oven to broil. Go ahead and let that thing get nice and hot. While that’s doing what it does, preheat a cast iron skillet on med/low heat. Drizzle you a little olive oil in there. When it’s nice and warm (you don’t want this scorching hot though) toss a medium tortilla in there.
Toast the first side just enough to get it barely browned, then flip it and remove the skillet from heat (onto a different burner).
Now, this is where you wanna have your ingredients already laid out. You can go crazy here. I’m talking jalapenos, different cheeses, pepperoni, cooked sausage, buffalo chicken, whatever your pizza taste is. I had some basic tomato sauce for this one. But I promise I will always use Sofrito in place of tomato sauce in anything (if I have it on hand).
In your warm skillet, assemble your pizza toppings of choice. Try to hurry, but don’t rush. Just remember, even though your skillet is not on a hot burner, the bottom of that tortilla is still cooking slowly. That’s why I use good ole cast iron.
When you’re happy with your pizza toppings, pop it in that oven that’s already preheated on broil. Don’t walk away on this one. It should only take 1 minute tops, so set a timer. Depending on your oven, you’ll figure it out. You’ll want a nice crisp to it at least.
If you’re satisfied, pull it out. If you’re not satisfied, only go another 15-30 seconds at a time. When it’s good, transfer it to a cutting board (or somewhere to cool). Crack a little pepper and Italian seasoning (my suggestion), cut it up and enjoy!!!
You can spit these babies out like an assembly line in matter of minutes, once you get the first one figured out. You’ll also need two skillets if you wanna do a bunch. They’re cheap, super easy, quick, and so delicious!
