If you are like me, you have days that are so busy you forget about prepping for dinner. So what happens? Fast food... our usual go to. Full of empty calories and in some cases, doesn't even taste good.
Tonight I made a quick throw together pizza and it was great! It took about 20 min, including cooking time.
How? Tortillas, left over vegetables, diced tomatoes, and cheese.
There are alot of items that you can keep in the freezer and use to create a great meal. Like a "break in case of emergency" freezer meal.
1. Flour or corn tortillas
2. Bell peppers (Yes! Freeze them)
3. Scallions
4. Mozzarella cheese (grated)
5. Frozen vegetables
6. Diced tomatoes (fresh frozen or canned)
Place your tortilla shell on a baking sheet. Cover lightly with diced tomatoes. Add your aromatics (onions, garlic, herbs, etc). Cover lightly with frozen vegetable (too much will make it soggy) and pop in the oven for 10 min at 350°. When vegetables are cooked, cover with cheese and cook 5 more min. Easy Peasy! I had some left over chicken that I threw on top. You can use whatever you like.
Make a quick salad while the pizza is baking. I am a firm believer that quick and easy meals start in the freezer
