🧾 Ingredients
Enchilada Sauce
You could also use store-bought enchilada sauce.
- Tomato sauce: Adds tomato flavor.
- Chili powder and cumin: Add warm spice flavor.
- Garlic powder: Adds a pungent garlic flavor.
- Onion powder: Adds a concentrated onion flavor.
- Mexican oregano: Adds a lemony citrus flavor.
- Vegetable broth: I used low-sodium vegetable broth because I like to control the amount of sodium.
Tortilla Pizzas
- Onion: A yellow onion, white onion, sweet onion, or red onion all will work.
- Olive oil: For cooking the veggies.
- Red bell pepper: You could also use a yellow pepper, orange pepper, or green bell pepper. You could also use a different veggie.
- Corn: Adds sweetness. You could use mushrooms or another vegetable. I used yellow pepper when I updated this recipe because since publishing it I found out I have a corn intolerance.
- Black beans: You could also use pinto beans.
- Salt and pepper: Enhances flavors and adds flavor.
- Tortillas: I used gluten-free brown rice tortillas. Use your favorite.
