This recipe is so awesome and super simple, it only takes 5 minutes to pull together if you have some cooked lentils or beans on hand. Get creative, and add your own toppings: tomatoes, red pepper, sliced sweet potato, green onions, etc.

Serves: 1 to 2
Ingredients
  • 1 tortilla shell (brown rice or Ezekiel work well)
  • 2 or 3 tbsp salsa, (or pasta or pizza sauce)
  • cooked green or brown lentils or any beans that you have on hand
  • 2 large handfuls of chopped kale
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • shredded mozarella or crumbled soft goat cheese or Daiya coconut cheese or leave out (I usually leave this out and it is still yummy)
  • pinch of dried oregano
  • a sprinkle of salt and pepper
  • Additional toppings:
  • sliced avocado (is especially nice if you leave out the cheese)
  • a drizzle of dijon mayonnaise: mix 1 tsp of mustard to 2 tbsp vegannaise and add a drizzle of that to the topping ~ yummy!
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450F.
  2. Place tortilla shell on a baking sheet.
  3. Spread salsa or pasta or pizza sauce on tortilla shell, sprinkle with lentils or beans (mash them down a bit to stay in place.
  4. Rub coconut oil on the palm of your hand then massage into the kale, then add to the pizza in a semi-mounded pile.
  5. Add a pinch of oregano and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper and grated cheese if using.
  6. Bake at 450F for 10 to 12 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and shell is begining to brown around the edges.
  7. When ready, add avocado slices if using (this is a nice option if you choose not to have cheese).
  8. Cut in wedges and serve. If the bottom of your tortilla crust is a bit soft, simply fold up so the toppings don’t fall off and place in your mouth.
