Making pizza with a fresh arugula pesto sauce on a tortilla is wonderfully delicious, perfect for a quick yet satisfying meal. This recipe offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures, ideal for anyone seeking a fast and flavorful pizza experience.
Ingredients- 2 Tortillas
- 2 Tbsp Arugula Pesto
- 2 Tbsp Tomato Sauce
- 1 slice Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup+ Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 Tomato
- 1 handful Arugula
- Parmesan Cheese (grated or shaved)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Take two tortillas. Spread 2 tablespoons of arugula pesto evenly over one tortilla and 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce over the other. Generous sauce application ensures a richer flavor.
Step 2
Tip: If you’d like an even more intense arugula flavor, feel free to spread arugula pesto on both tortillas! Adjust to your preference.
Step 3
On the tortilla with pesto, layer the slice of cheddar cheese first, followed by generously sprinkling over 1 cup or more of mozzarella cheese. The melting cheese will enhance the richness. Thinly slice the tomato and arrange it attractively on top.
Step 4
Additional Topping Ideas: Beyond tomatoes, consider adding olives, sliced mushrooms, or onions. You can also add ingredients like ham, bacon, or sausage. However, to fully appreciate the distinct and fresh taste of arugula, it’s recommended to keep the toppings minimal, focusing on fresh ingredients.
Step 5
Bake the prepared pizza in an air fryer at 190°C (375°F) for about 15 minutes. You can also use a conventional oven or a skillet. The key is to cook until the mozzarella cheese is melted and beautifully golden. Monitor the cheese to ensure perfect timing, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
Step 6
Once baked, remove the pizza and cut it into manageable portions (usually 4-6 slices) using scissors or a pizza cutter. Then, generously top with fresh arugula and finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired. Cutting the pizza is for convenience; you can also serve it whole.
Step 7
Since this is an arugula pizza, don’t be shy with the arugula! Pile it high for a burst of fresh, slightly peppery flavor that elevates the entire pizza. Enjoy it immediately while it’s warm for the best taste experience.
