Just another hot day on my COVID-19 watch. T.G.I.S. (Thank God It’s Someday!)

I don’t know about you, but I always have extra tortillas sitting in my pantry. I have done my wraps, tacos, enchiladas. What about pizza? Making pizza from tortillas? Quick and easy. No dough to deal with. A perfect, what’s in your pantry meal! So it’s definitely a cheat day! But it’s not that bad a cheat day, because my tortillas are low carb. They are 4 to 6 net carbs, depending on the size and brand; which makes them Keto-friendly. Woooohooo!!

So what kind of pizza should I make? Being a sometimes indecisive individual, I decide to make 3 different ones. Let’s do a variety! I decide to make a Mexican Chorizo Pizza, an Italian Sub Pizza, and a standard Italian Sausage and Mushroom Pizza. Why you ask, those three? Just clearing my pantry and those are the tastes that I have been craving. Some spicy Mexican, an Italian sub, and a sausage pizza. Let’s take care of all my cravings in one fell swoop!

Let’s make it easy to decide what kind of sauce to use on our tortilla pizzas; Favorite Italian red sauce on the sausage and mushroom pizza, Favorite Italian dressing on the Italian Sub pizza (see here for my favorite Italian Vinaigarette), and of course a good salsa on the Chorizo pizza.

I hope you enjoy and as always; thanks for Spending Time in My Kitchen!

It’s a Pizza Cheat Day!
