Mediterranean Pizza

“First we eat. Then we do everything else”- MFK Fisher
I am not having the best of luck with the whole mobility thing…I strained my hip flexor a couple days after I got the all clear from my doctors about my broken bones. However, I’m so sick of being unable to do things (I’m going stir crazy) so being the incredibly intelligent woman that I am, I decided to do a ridiculous core workout with my roommate.

This was not smart.

I mean, the workout was great and I really need to get back in shape, but this was akin to just learning to swim and deciding the open sea in a hurricane is your best bet for practice. Basically, I am in a lot of pain. So when I got home from work, the last thing I wanted to do was go to the grocery store. My solution was to throw everything I had together and just see what happened. I was very happy with the end result. I ended up making a (relatively) healthy Mediterranean pizza.   

This recipe is based off of what I had, but this entire thing could be customized. You could use pesto or tomato sauce instead of olive oil or goat cheese or feta instead of mozzarella and cheddar. Honestly, the combinations are endless.

What you need:
  • Extra-large tortilla
  • Shredded cheese
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Bell peppers
  • Spinach
  • Artichoke hearts
  • Black olives
  • Olive oil

How to make:
  • Preheat your oven to 410 degrees
  • Spoon a tablespoon of olive oil over your tortilla
  • Sprinkle a layer of cheese over your tortilla
  • Place spinach evenly throughout your pizza
  • Cut up bell peppers, onions, and artichoke hearts and cover your pizza with them
  • Crush garlic and season the pizza
  • Sprinkle another fine layer of cheese
  • Top with black olives and crushed red peppers

  • Cook for 10 minutes


After cooking my pizza I decided I was done with standing around so I decided to eat mine in my bed. And it was fantastic.
