Paneer Bhurji Tortilla Pizza

August 17, 2015 by naivecookcooks 10 Comments

Paneer Bhurji Tortilla Pizza for Pinterest

Spicy Indian Cheese (Paneer) cooked with veggies & spices & topped on a crispy tortilla to make the ultimate easy weeknight pizza!

Paneer Bhurji Tortilla Pizza

 Meatless Monday is here!

Today we are talking about fusion food, you know the sorts where you see crepes being turned into tortillas for enchiladas or putting samosa filling over a ready made french bread or stuffing enchiladas with thai fillings & then topping it with a creamy coconut sauce! I think you get the idea!

Today it’s all about two of our favorite food groups! Cheese + pizza. But with a healthy twist & packed with tons of flavors! This meal is idea for the soon to be starting game days and it is totally make-ahead sorts of meal! So win-win if I say so!

Paneer Bhurji Tortilla Pizza 2

This pizza is my dream pizza as around here we love paneer bhurji. Paneer Bhurji is basically to separate words. Paneer = means Indian Cheese & Bhurji = means Scrambled. Here we grate our cheese and then it is cooked with veggies & spices to make such a fragrant & delicious scrambled cheese recipe that seriously I always end up eating quite a good amount in the name of taste tasting!

Paneer Bhurji Tortilla Pizza 1

Served on a crispy tortilla and sprinkled with some mozzarella cheese, this is a wholesome meal option & a perfect game day appetizer or even back to school kids treat! Paneer bhurji can easily be made 2-3 days in advance and then used whenever you need. I sometimes even make it way in advance and then pack it tightly in a ziplock & freeze it for later use. Works like a charm!

    I only tried paneer for the first time a couple of months ago and I loved it. A really nice texture, and I don’t know why I avoided it for so long. This looks like a great way to eat it!
