Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce, preferably low-sodium
Instructions
- Prepare the tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface to make filling easier.
- Add pizza sauce: Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the center of each tortilla, leaving some space around the edges to prevent overflow during baking.

Notes
