Notes

Chef Tips

  • Add leftover cooked vegetables to your pizza! Be careful to avoid anything with high water content so it doesn’t make your tortilla soggy.
  • Use leftover cooked pork, steak, or shrimp instead of chicken.
  • Use regular marinara sauce if you do not like BBQ.
  • Make this into a quesadilla by adding another tortilla on top and cook on the stove in a frying pan instead.
  • Make this vegetarian by using rinsed and drained black beans or firm tofu instead of chicken.
