Ingredients:
- 2 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 green pepper
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tomato, chopped
- ¼ tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ¼ tsp dried basil
Directions:
- Things You’ll Need. Gather the ingredients.
Little Hands Tip: Ask your child to sort the ingredients by color.
- Pep and Bake. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place tortillas on a baking sheet and poke small holes in them with a fork; this will keep them flat while baking. Bake until crisp.
- Cool and Spread. Remove the baked tortillas from the oven and let cool.
Little Hands Tip: Now, spread the tomato paste over the tortillas.
- Spice it Up. Sprinkle the tortillas with dried oregano and basil for some zesty spice.
Little Hands Tip: As you sprinkle, pretend you are a magician and say, “Zesto, presto. Make these tortillas zesty!”
- Veggie Time. Carefully, chop the green peppers and tomatoes.
- Top it Off. Time for toppings! Start with sliced green peppers and chopped tomatoes. Want more flavor? Add mushrooms, olives, or even fresh basil.
Little Hands Tip: Say the color of each topping as you add it.
- Say Cheese. Top the tortillas with shredded cheese and bake until the cheese is melted.
- Mangia! Cut each pizza in half. Enjoy a fun, healthy, and delicious meal you made together!
