ingredients

3 sticks light mozzarella string cheese
six 6-inch corn tortilla
2 dashes salt
¹⁄₂ cup chopped mushroom
¹⁄₂ cup diced bell pepper
¹⁄₂ cup diced onion
1 cup jarred pizza sauce
¹⁄₂ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons vegetarian parmesan cheese
17 slices turkey pepperoni, chopped (like the kind by Hormel)

directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet or ovenproof platter with nonstick spray and set aside.
Break each string cheese stick into thirds and place in a blender or food processor -- blend at high speed until shredded/grated. (Or tear into pieces and roughly chop.) Set aside.
To make the chips, stack tortillas and cut in half. Cut each stack of halves into 3 triangles, for a total of 36 pieces.
Evenly lay tortilla triangles flat on the sheet or platter, and cover with a generous mist of nonstick spray. Sprinkle with a dash of salt. Flip triangles and sprinkle with another dash of salt.
Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Carefully flip triangles and bake until crispy, about 5 minutes longer. (Leave oven on.).
Meanwhile, bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add veggies and, stirring occasionally, cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Add pizza sauce and garlic powder. Mix well and continue to cook until hot.
Evenly top chips with sauce. Sprinkle with Parm-style topping and shredded/grated cheese. Top with turkey pepperoni.
Return to the oven until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Enjoy!
