Calories: 67kcal
Ingredients
For the marinara sauce:
- 2 cans plum tomatoes
- 3-4 basil leaves, chopped
- ½ tablespoon good quality dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt and black pepper, freshly cracked
For the taco pizza cones:
- 3 8-inch white flour tortilla
- 2 mozzarella balls, drained and cubed
- extra virgin olive oil, for brushing
- Basil leaves, to decorate
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C/375F.
- Cut tortillas in half. For each cone use half tortilla. Roll the two cut edges around each other, creating a cone.Fold the excess on the inside and press to bond together. Pierce the edges with a toothpick to firmly hold the cone together while baking, Brush very lightly with olive oil on the outside of each tortilla cones.
- Place the cones upright in a muffin tin or baking cup. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool a little.
- For the marinara sauce: Drain the tomatoes and remove juice and seeds inside. Transfer into a blender (I use a Vitamix), add olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper. Blend until just combined to keep a chunky texture.
- Fill the cones with marinara sauce and mozzarella cubes. Place your filled pizza cones in an oven-safe mug, glassware, or a specialized rack that can hold them upright, and bake for an extra 2-3 minutes on 200C/400F, or until the cheese is melted and cones are golden brown.
- Take out from the oven and serve immediately while they're nice and hot.
