This super-simple pizza take on the tostada uses a crisped-up tortilla for the crust, salsa as the pizza sauce, and a garden basket of seasoned vegetables for the toppings. Try this with a crumble of tangy Mexican queso fresco in place of the shredded cheese, if you wish. To make it more Taqueria than Trattoria, top with shredded lettuce or angel hair slaw, a dollop of fat-free sour cream, a few pickled jalapeño slices, then dig in with a fork and knife tostada-style.
