Ingredients:

54g
1/2 cup red pepper
77g
1/2 onion
170g

9g
6 olives
16g
1 can canned tuna
160g
1.50 cups arugula
30g
2 tsp vinegar
11g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Tortilla Base:
- Place the tortilla on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or on a pizza stone.
3. Spread the Sauce:
- Evenly spread the canned tomato paste over the tortilla, making sure to cover the surface.
4. Add the Cheese:
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the tomato paste, distributing it evenly.
5. Top with Veggies and Tuna:
- Distribute the diced red pepper and sliced onion evenly over the cheese.
- Scatter the capers and sliced olives across the pizza.
- Add the drained canned tuna in small chunks across the pizza.
6. Bake:
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tortilla is crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Prepare the Arugula:
- While the pizza is baking, toss the fresh arugula with the vinegar in a small bowl.
8. Finish the Pizza:
- Once the pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately top it with the arugula.
9. Serve:
- Slice the pizza into desired portions and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking.

- If you prefer a crispier base, lightly toast the tortilla before adding the toppings.

- Drain the canned tuna thoroughly to avoid a soggy pizza.

- Cut the red pepper and onion into thin slices to ensure they cook evenly.

- Use a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to prevent the pizza from sticking.

- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese like mozzarella or feta for a unique flavor twist.

- If you want to add more vegetables, consider including sliced mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or spinach.
