Summers ending, the pools and playgrounds are less crowded, 20 mph speed limits begin to exist again. Its that time of year folks. The kids are back in school.
When I saw this week’s #SundaySupper was about quick & easy 30 minute meals ~ hosted by Nicole of Daily Dish Recipes, I knew I had to get involved. Even though Princess P is not school aged yet, anyone that has or has had a toddler in the house knows that standing in the kitchen slaving over a time-consuming dinner is probably never going to be a reality. I’m lucky to pee alone. Standing in the kitchen cooking for 20 minutes uninterrupted? That ain’t happening.
One of our favorite weeknight meals is pizza. But not your everyday pepperoni pizza. We try to find unique sauces or toppings. And we love using flatbread for our crust. It just adds a whole new level of easy to the meal. Pile everything on top of the flatbread, throw it in the oven for 5 minutes or so and ding, you have dinner! Toddler approved for time & mommy approved for easy!
INGREDIENTS:
1 bunch cilantro leaves, stems removed, roughly chopped
2 cloves roasted garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1/2 of a medium jalapeno, seeded & chopped
juice from 1 small lime
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
flatbread
1 can (11 ounces) corn & peppers, drained
mozzarella cheese
LETS COOK:
1. To make the Cilantro Garlic Sauce: combine the cilantro, garlic, green onion, jalapeno, lime juice & olive oil in a food processor. Pulse until combined & then blend until smooth.
2. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
3. Top the flat bread with the cilantro garlic sauce ~ there will be enough sauce for at least 3-4, possibly more, flatbread pizzas depending on how much sauce you use on each
4. Add the corn & peppers to the pizza, top with the mozzarella cheese.
5. Bake in the oven for 3-5 minutes or until the pizzas are heated through & the cheese has melted.
RECIPE INSPIRED BY: two peas & their pod
NOTES:
*This sauce was so delicious and would work so well with all different types of toppings. I may try it next with some Garlic Tequila Chicken as a topping! It would pair nicely with just a simple side salad if you need something extra with your pizza!

So quick and easy, and it looks absolutely delicious! Great dish – and enjoy your #SundaySupper!
Thank you so much Katy!
This is just a fabulous recipe. I can see it also as an appetizer when I entertain. Lovely and quick too!
It would be great as an appetizer! Put the sauce on the small pita rounds ~ that would work great!! Thanks for the sweet comment!
I adore cilantro! I can’t wait to try this one!
We are huge cilantro fans too! Thanks for stopping by!
My hubby would love this! Perfect to make when you’re strapped for time but still want a tasty dinner!
It’s great too because you can make the sauce ahead of time if you need to making it even easier! Thanks for stopping by!
IS that corn I see on that pizza!!! yum!
LOL, I love corn on anything!! 🙂
I need that Cilantro Garlic Sauce NOW. Yum!
Lol, I would love to share with you!
Did someone say cilantro? Yes!
Yum! I really like cilantro so I’m always up for any recipe that I can use it in. I’ve never had a pizza with a cilantro sauce either.
We had never had a cilantro sauce on a pizza before but both the Hubs & I loved it! We are huge cilantro fans so this was a winner for us!
Delicious sauce, not only for pizza! Wonderful for my almost everday pasta!
It would be good on pasta ~ I would probably add a bit more olive oil so it thins out a little but great idea!! I think I’m going to have to try that now! 🙂
I am your newest follower, I would love a follow back at https://lefthandedideas.com

What a great Mexican pizza! Perfect for a meatless meal…or any #SundaySupper 🙂
Thanks so much Liz!
Oh yeah, pizza is a family favorite and I love this cilantro sauce! WOWZA!
Awe, thank you Laura!
Yummy! This is a wonderful pizza, especially for me as I’m a vegetarian 🙂
I think you would love it Winnie! 🙂
This looks great! And there are so many other recipes you listed that I need to check out. Thanks!
Yes, please do Lisa! All of the other recipes are amazing! Thanks for stopping by & commenting!
Love the look of this, something so different! I love flatbread too!!
I always forget how easy it is to make a pizza–and this one looks great!
Ha this post made me laugh because when I first moved to the UK I noticed that all of the pizza restaurants had a pizza option with corn on it and it was usually called the “Americana”. I had never heard of corn on a pizza but apparently in the UK they think we all eat it that way. But you know what this does look pretty amazing so I might give it a try. 🙂 I am always looking for a toddler time approved meal so thanks for sharing.
Lol, your comment made me laugh! I love corn & anything that has a mexican flavor has to have corn in it! But your comment made me think back to when I was in school a LONG time ago, the boys used to put corn on top of their cheese pizza!
Sounds amazing and veggie too ! I would love to make this ! Sounds exotic and interesting !!!
Thank you so much! It was so good!
I love a quick pizza for dinner. I’ll have to try your cilantro garlic. Sounds like a wonderful combination.
Thank you so much!
Love this! It is after 9pm, and I want it now!
Very different Jamie, I like it!
Thank you so much!
This looks awesome! I love cilantro, and flatbread pizza, too. Thanks for sharing at Must Try Monday.
I love the corn! What an awesome, out of the box, pizza topping.
Jamie @ http://www.mamamommymom.com
That’s a bit different. I never thought to try corn on pizza! Thanks for linking up for Flash Blog Friday 🙂
That sounds excellent, I’ll have to show the hubby! I love making pizza on flatbread too, so much easier! We often just pop some tomato paste, ham or maybe BBQ chicken with some capsicum (bell pepper) and ricotta cheese when we need something quick but filling.
Those pizza options sound so good! Now I’m hungry 🙁 Thanks for stopping by & for the sweet comments!
Those pizzas look and sound delicious! So simple and quick too – perfect!
Thanks for linking to a Round Tuit!
Hope you have a fabulous week!

Pizza is definitely one of my go-to meals when I’m tired and it’s too late to whip up anything else. This looks delicious. I can totally see that sauce working with lots of other meals too.
I love the sound of that cilantro sauce! I bet it would be great on anything! Thanks for sharing!
