Pizza that's dead simple

Ooh, dead. How Halloweenie. (Halloweenie? Ha, there's an image.)

In truth, "dead simple" is usually all the trick-or-treat that Fred and I bother with. And that's in keeping with how I view at-home pizza: Making it should be nothin' special, an ordinary occurance, something that's suitable for any occasion.

I love this pizza more each time I make it. It is easy, quick, nutritious. Plus, the thin crust is tailormade for a snack or light meal. (It certainly suits Fred, who likes to go easy on bread products.)

Dead-simple pizza

1. Place wholegrain tortillas on baking sheets
2. Spread basil pesto over some, salsa over others 
3. Add toppings. Nice combos include:
   • pear + walnut + blue cheese
   • tomato + olive + artichoke + parmesan
   • onion + garlic + red pepper + anchovy + mozzerella
   • spinach + hot pepper + chicken + aged cheddar
4. Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes
5. Place on cutting board and slice into quarters. Serve hot.

Fred prefers to heap on the toppings. ("Jam 'er, baby. Jam 'er." That's a direct quote.). I prefer my pizza more sparsely topped. Either is fine, but realize that the deeper the toppings, the greater the required oven time.
