Instructions

Prepare Ingredients:
Gather all the ingredients and lay the tortilla flat on a baking tray lined with parchment paper for easy clean-up. -
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) for 5 minutes to ensure even baking. -
Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread the homemade pizza and pasta sauce evenly across the tortilla, leaving about half an inch around the edges for a clean crust.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Arrange the sliced tomatoes evenly across the tortilla, maintaining some space between each slice.
- Top the tomatoes with julienned onion and green bell pepper (capsicum) for a vibrant and fresh topping.
-
Add More Cheese:
Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the vegetables, ensuring even coverage. -
Bake to Perfection:
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and the tortilla edges are golden and crisp. -
Garnish and Serve:
Remove the tortilla pizza from the oven and sprinkle dried oregano and red chili flakes for a burst of flavor. -
Plate and Pair:
Slice the tortilla pizza into quarters and serve it warm alongside a bowl of Tomato Noodle Soup. Finish your meal with a rich, indulgent Dark Chocolate Mousse for the perfect ending.
