Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your pizzas will cook evenly and get that perfect crispy crust.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Lentils - In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils with 2 tablespoons of the enchilada sauce. Mix well until the lentils are thoroughly coated.
  3. Step 3: Assemble the Tortillas - Place the tortillas on a baking sheet. Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce evenly over each tortilla.
  4. Step 4: Add the Lentils - Spoon the lentil mixture generously over each tortilla, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Step 5: Add the Cheese - Top each tortilla with a generous handful of shredded cheese.
  6. Step 6: Bake - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are golden brown.
  7. Step 7: Add Fresh Toppings - Once out of the oven, sprinkle the shredded lettuce and diced Roma tomato over the top of each pizza.
  8. Step 8: Serve and Enjoy! - Slice your Vegetarian Mexican Pizza into wedges and serve warm!

Notes

  • For a crunchier texture, consider lightly toasting the tortillas in a skillet before assembling.
  • Feel free to use leftover cooked lentils or canned lentils for a quicker option.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese for varied flavors—queso fresco or pepper jack can add a unique twist!
  • Make it a family affair! Let everyone customize their own pizzas with their favorite toppings.
