Med Vs. Mex

Guests are coming to our house, and we want to make some pizza! Average pizza won't cut it this time... Though, home made regular pizza does tend to lighten everyones day. We decided to make either Mediterranean pizza, or Mexican pizza. Here's what we found:

Mediterranean pizza is quick and simple to make if you just use regular pizza tortilla to start the process. Lightly layer sauce on the tortilla. Then equally layer mozzarella on top of the sauce, but don't cover up the whole tortilla. Leave some space open, for the cheese will expand. After the mozzarella is properly set, add cheddar cheese by covering the open spaces the mozzarella missed. As a result, the cheese will melt together. On top of the cheese, put a layer of tomatoes, again, equally distributed on the tortilla. Once the tomatoes and in place, put one more layer of the two cheeses on the tomatoes, but leave some space open so the tomatoes can be seen.

(Additional topping may include, pepper, garlic, olives, and mushrooms.)

After the toppings are set, bake the pizza around 350 Degrees F for about 30 minutes, which should be plenty enough time for the crust to brown and the cheese to melt.

Now I know the most satisfying part of the process is eating, but since most people are too lazy to make their own pizza and will probably go out and eat some pizza and Pizza Hut or what not, let me inspire you by showing a picture of the result! <3

(I'll post a pic of our finished result after we make the pizza, haha.)

The other option was the Mexican Pizza. It's pretty easy to make as well, but in my opinion, a little less appetizing. I believe Mexican food tastes best in burrito form :). But I'll explain the process anyhow.

Take a pizza tortilla and layer it with beans. For this pizza, the beans will sorta act like the sauce. After the beans are spread out, put a layer of salsa on top of the beans and sprinkle it with tomatoes, chilies, green pepper, onion, olives, and cheese.

(Additional toppings include whatever Mexicany food you like, haha :) )

Again, if your like me and think that burritos are the best Mexican food... We have something in common! But I encourage you at least TRY this recipe! Because they DO taste pretty good! Here are some pics I found from the internet:



I hope I inspired you to try to some DIFFERENT types of Pizza! ENJOY!
