Broccoli Cheese Tortilla Pizzas
Description
Broccoli Cheese Tortilla Pizzas start with flour tortillas that act as a thin, crispy crust when baked at 425°F. The broccoli is cooked over medium-low heat with olive oil, salt, and pepper until it softens and brightens in color but retains a slight bite. After lightly spraying the baking sheet with oil and the tortillas with olive oil spray, shredded sharp cheddar cheese is evenly spread on each tortilla, followed by the broccoli and a topping of finely grated Parmesan cheese.
Baking for about 10 to 12 minutes crisps the tortilla edges and melts the cheese thoroughly. The contrast between the crisp base and tender vegetable-cheese topping is a key feature. Sprinkling additional Parmesan and crushed red pepper flakes after baking adds flavor and optional spiciness.
These pizzas serve well as a quick vegetarian main course or a shareable appetizer. The use of tortillas keeps preparation and cleanup simple while delivering an approachable vegetable-packed dish.
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- salt kosher salt
- black pepper kosher salt
- 2 cups broccoli chopped into smaller pieces, florets
- 2 flour tortilla burrito size
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated sharp
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese plus more for topping, finely grated
- crushed red pepper flakes for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the broccoli with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the broccoli softens a bit and turns bright green, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray. I find this helps the bottom of the tortilla crisp up.
- Place the tortillas on the baking sheet. Spray them lightly with the olive oil spray. Divide the cheddar evenly between both tortillas. Top the tortillas with the broccoli. Add the parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake the tortillas for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with more parmesan and crushed red pepper flakes if you’d like. Slice and serve!
