EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Shredded roast beef makes a good stand-in for the cooked chicken.

Love pizza loaded with toppings? Crumbled cooked bacon, chopped bell pepper and sliced ripe or green olives make tasty additions. Just add them before sprinkling with the cheese.

This is great for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I added sour cream and diced tomatoes after I took it out of the oven. My husband and I liked this and will be making it again.

The first time that I made this, I wondered where the "Mexicana" was in this pizza. I made it again using smooth salsa in lieu of the tomato sauce! I make it all the time now! You can even top it with some sour cream of shredded lettuce after it is finished baking!

Making this was extremly simple. I do suggest that you not only bake till cheese melts, but until the pita is a tad crispy. And adding your fave toppings plus what is calls, will be even more heartier.I loved it though, and I do plan on making it in the future!
