Ten-Minute Cheater's Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 pita bread (or tortilla)
• 3 tablespoons tomato sauce
• 9 slices pepperoni
• 1/4 cup fresh mushrooms (optional) or canned mushroom (optional)
• 1 teaspoon basil
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1/3 cup lowfat mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. 1

   Want pizza? It takes a few minutes! Here's the trick: keep pitas or tortillas, meat, and cheese in the freezer.

2. 2

   You can freeze a 2 inch stick of pepperoni in the freezer, and cut off the amount you need with a good sharp, warm, knife.

3. 3

   If you have a bag of shredded mozza in the freezer, it is easy to take only the amount you need.

4. 4

   Always keep a can or jars of plain tomato sauce in the house (you can then use it for pasta or other meals too).

5. 5

   Put tomato sauce on pita, put on basil and oregano, then cheese, then veggies, then meat.

6. 6

   Stick it in the oven or toaster oven at 375F degrees for about 7 minutes (until done).

7. 7

   Sometimes I make the original recipie with hot italian sausage.

8. 8

   You can keep a link of italian sausage in the freezer.

9. 9

   Just make sure you skin and cook it first (takes only a few minutes in a frying pan).

10. 10

    A good snack or appetizer I make uses a tortilla, tomato sauce, basil, a little freshly ground pepper, and feta cheese.

    Simple, and tastes gourmet!
