Tortilla Wrap Pizza !!

PREPARATION TIME: 30 minutes • COOKING TIME: 35 minutes

Serves:4 people

Ingredients:

slices of pepperoni
2 tbsp grated mozarella cheese
2 whole-meal tortilla wraps
2 tins of chopped tomatoes (800g)
4 crushed cloves of garlic
4 tbsp of olive oil
2 tbsp of tomatoe puree

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
First make the tomato sauce. Heat the oil in a large saucepan set over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for 2 minutes before adding the tinned tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Stir in the basil and simmer for a further 3 to 4 minutes.
Transfer the sauce to a blender and blitz until it’s your desired consistency, but watch out for any hot splashes. Alternatively, you could use a hand-held blender directly in the pan.
Place one tortilla on the baking tray and top with 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce. Press the other tortilla firmly on top. Top with 2 more tablespoons of tomato sauce, then scatter over the cheese and pepperoni. Transfer to the oven to bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Allow to cool before serving.

4. Pour the rice krispies into the pan, and stir to combine!

5. Press the mixture into the bottom of the lined tin (top tip, buttering your hands slightly can prevent any sticking and makes it easy to press down!)

6. Melt the chocolate in a bowl until smooth - Do this in short bursts in the microwave stiring well each time.

Notes

You can use slightly salted butter it you want the mixture slightly less sweet!
If your mixture splits, try adding in a small amount of milk to bring it back.
You can use any spread in place of the Nutella if you would rather use something else!
You can use cocoa pops in place of rice krispies if you want!
The chocolate topping can be done with other chocolates if you fancy!
Store at room temperature for up to five days!
