World's Easiest Gluten-Free Pizza

This idea is so simple yet I had never thought about it.  That's why I'm sharing it so that others can now how easily a gluten-free pizza snack can be made.


About two years ago I become gluten intolerant (I can't eat flour).  It was a pretty hard adjustment for me, especially giving up pizza.  I used to eat lots of pizza and still I crave the real stuff.  But I have found one super-simple recipe to help my pizza cravings.

Back before I become gluten-free I would make small pizza snacks, on toast, tortillas, or anything else I could try to make into a pizza.  I had to give up toast and flour tortillas when I became gluten intolerant.  I could still make small pizzas on my gluten-free bread, but it's expensive and not really worth it.  For some reason it had never occurred to me that I could use corn tortillas for my simple pizza snack.  So here it is, corn tortilla pizzas that take minutes to prepare and eat.  These are perfect for a quick snack, or even for lunch if you make enough of them.


The ingredients:

The ingredients are what you want on your pizza.  I'm addicted to good 'ole pepperoni pizza.  So for my pizza I need:

Corn tortillas
Pizza sauce (you could probably use any red sauce)
Pepperoni
Cheese

Prepare:

Prepare the pizza how you wish, you can even stack as many as you want for a thicker pizza.  For now I'm just doing a simple single serving of this pizza.


Nuke:

Once you've created your masterpiece, pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute.  Once done you now have the world's easiest gluten-free pizza.  I seriously love this simple pizza and use it often throughout the week and weekend when I need a quick snack. These are so simple it took me 2 years to even realize I could eat them, how I wish I would have realized sooner.  And since they're so small, I can make and eat about 5 of these for a lunch meal.
