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.
