Ingredients:Pizza
2 large flour tortillas or wraps
4 slices of ham, torn into strips
125g ball of low-fat mozzarella, drained and sliced
50g baby salad leaves
½ tsp balsamic vinegar
½ tsp olive oil
Ingredients:Tomato Sauce
2 large ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
½ onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
½ tsp dried chili flakes
½ tsp golden caster sugar
A pinch of dried oregano
Ingredients:Chips
2 medium-sized potatoes ( 200g )
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Additional seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, or dried herbs for added flavor
Method:
Tomato Sauce Magic:
In a small pan, combine the chopped tomatoes, finely chopped onion, crushed garlic cloves, dried chili flakes, golden caster sugar, and a pinch of dried oregano.
Season the mixture well and simmer it over low heat for 10-12 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Once thickened, transfer the sauce to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
Prepping the Pizza:
Place the flour tortillas on baking sheets or pizza stones.
Spread the homemade tomato sauce generously over the tortillas, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the torn strips of ham evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the sliced low-fat mozzarella on top of the ham, ensuring even coverage.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
Grilling Perfection:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Carefully place the topped tortillas under the grill and cook for approximately 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the tortillas are slightly crispy.
Crispy Chips Method:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Potatoes:
Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Leaving the skin on, slice the potatoes into thin fries.
Toss with Oil and Seasonings:
In a mixing bowl, gently toss the potato slices with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Season with salt, pepper, and any additional desired seasonings. Be creative and experiment with flavors that suit your taste preferences.
Bake to Perfection:
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't overlap. This allows them to crisp up evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy.
Halfway through the baking time, flip the chips over to ensure even browning.
Salad Finishing Touch:
Remove the pizzas from the grill and transfer them to serving plates.
Top each pizza with a handful of baby salad leaves, adding a fresh and vibrant element to your creation.
Drizzle the pizzas with balsamic vinegar and olive oil to enhance the flavors and bring everything together.
Time to Savor:
Serve your Skinny Pizza & Chips while still warm, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly.
Take a bite and savor the delicious combination of the crisp tortilla, tangy tomato sauce, savory ham, and melted low-fat mozzarella.
