Pizza Margherita from "John the Simple Minded Chef"

Talk about a very easy, fast, and simple recipe for a deliciously light and tasty Margherita pizza.  My dad's friend, John the Simple Minded Chef (well...simple minded when it comes to recipes), gave him this recipe and was passed along to me.  I made this today for lunch and after eating...without speaking one word during the meal...my husband exclaimed, "Solid!"  What was great is that it took less than 30 minutes to prepare, cook, eat, and clean up!

1. Start oven preheating to 400F.
2. Coat the top of an extra large store bought flour tortilla with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Yes, a store bought flour tortilla - I used zesty garlic herb wraps by Mission.
3. Place sliced mozzarella cheese, separated by about 1/2 inch. Arrange very thin slices of Roma tomato (about 1/8" thick). Tip: They look better sliced lengthwise.
4. Sprinkle "just a pinch" of salt, no more. It makes the taste richer and lessens the acid taste of the tomato. Sprinkle basil on to pizza (either fresh or dried).
5. Put the pizza in the oven on a cookie sheet and reduce the temperature to 350F. This may not be necessary but it makes you feel like you're doing something important!
6. Bake until the cheese bubbles and the edges start to brown, about 12-15 min.
7. Enjoy!
