What if I told you this delicious, flavourful, spicy, cheezy, crispy-based pizza was only 180 calories, low in fat and 2 of your ‘5 a day’?
Well, this vegan tortilla pizza is all those things.
The base is simply a low-fat tortilla wrap (you can buy low-fat shop-bought ones or make your own gluten-free ones).
It’s topped with tomato pizza sauce, mixed with some nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesey flavour), onion, a selection of chopped veg, lightly fried with water or a low-cal olive oil spray and some fresh basil.
This pizza is also really nice served cold, making it the perfect healthy (and ridiculously tasty) lunch to take to work!

Hi there,

Good fun to make with the kids. I used basil but could do with suggestions for other herbs or similar to give extra taste as I found them a little bland. Thanks.

I love making pizza with lebanese flat bread but never thought to try tortillas. Can’t wait to give this a try.
