Pesto Veggie Pizza

1 tortilla (for each person who wants one)
cheese (cheddar or mozarella)
pesto sauce
raw spinach,bell peppers, artichoke,zuchinni, squash,tomato, etc.

Take a tortilla and pour pesto sauce over it to cover (just like you would do tomato sauce for pizza) then add veggies. You can add more vegetables than I put or less depending on what you like. I slice my veggies and place on pesto sauce. Then cover veggies with cheese. Put the oven on broil for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Eat and enjoy.

You also can add chicken to this if you would like.
