Tortillas for a Healthy Entree!

Hello Readers! 
 
 
 
After you use a tortilla to make chips & hummus, go ahead and use it to make a 
what I like to call mock pizza. I was inspired to make this dish after eating at 
a restaurant and getting an overpriced salad ($13) that I realized I could make 
at home for probably much cheaper. As I ate my overpriced salad I made sure to 
think about how I could recreate it at home with a little bit of a twist. This 
lead to the creation of the healthy entree below! 
 
 
 
 Arugula Salad Pizza

1/2 tbsp olive oil

Thoughts on the recipe: When I made this recipe for my family, it got mixed 
reviews. Some people liked it while some people didn't really consider it a 
pizza. In a way their right, which is why I like to call it a mock pizza. You 
have the tortilla as the crust, and the toppings come from the salad. I 
personally REALLY like it. I think arugula has an interesting, peppery taste and 
is a different type of leafy green then what I am used to. The asiago is an 
interesting cheese with a distinct, yet not overwhelming flavor. When you get 
the perfect bite, with the burst of the grape tomato in your mouth, it tastes 
like something very special. I recommend everyone to give this a try. It's a 
creation that I am proud of, and hopefully you'll all enjoy it too. If your 
looking for something different then the boring, everyday salad, turn it into 
this Arugula Salad Pizza!
