Sliced olives, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, canned corn, and mushrooms all add great flavor and texture.
- → How can I make the base extra crispy?
Brushing the tortilla lightly with olive oil before adding sauce and toppings helps achieve a crispier crust.
- → Are there vegetarian alternatives for added protein?
To keep it vegetarian, stick to cheese and vegetable toppings, or try pesto sauce instead of tomato for variety.

This contains gluten from the flour tortillas and milk from the cheese; canned vegetables may also have sulfites.

A light Italian red wine complements the toppings well, enhancing the overall flavor experience.
