Directions:

  1. Stovetop method: Place one tortilla in a large skillet and heat it over medium heat. Spoon the pizza sauce over the tortilla, leaving a little space around the edge. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the top of the sauce, then layer the pepperoni over the cheese. Heat until the cheese has just melted, then move the tortilla to a cutting board. You can add the chopped basil, if you’re using it, then roll up the tortilla once it is cool enough to handle. Slice the tortilla into 1/2 inch pieces.
  2. Microwave method: Add the pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, and pepperoni slices to the tortilla. Place it on a plate, then heat it up in the microwave for 10-20 seconds, until the cheese is melted. Add the basil or just roll it up and slice into pieces.
  3. Serve the tortilla with sliced strawberries, cut zucchini or cucumber, carrots, and ranch dressing. Fresh fruit and vegetables cut easily with mini stainless steel cookie cutters and look fun!
