Tortilla Pizza
Description
The Tortilla Pizza recipe relies on a single tortilla as a base, which provides a crisp, thin crust after baking at 400°F. Topping it simply with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese allows the tortilla to crisp up while the cheese melts lightly, creating a balanced texture between crunch and creamy topping. Baking time is brief, making this a straightforward alternative to traditional pizza crusts. The recipe notes highlight selecting thicker tortillas or specific gluten-free options like almond or quinoa for sturdiness and recommend avoiding thin corn tortillas that might not hold toppings well.
The result is a portable, modest-sized pizza that works well as a light meal or snack. You can customize it with additional toppings, but the directions caution not to add too many to prevent sogginess or overload on the thin base. Leftovers store chilled for a couple of days, maintaining shape and flavor if not overloaded with wet toppings. This recipe suits cooks looking for minimal ingredient pizzas or quick bites using pantry staples.
Ingredients
- 1 tortilla see notes
- ¼ cup pizza sauce

Notes
- Choose thicker flour tortillas or almond/quinoa gluten-free tortillas to prevent sogginess and improve crust firmness.

- Limit the amount of toppings to avoid making the tortilla soggy or unstable.
- Store leftover pizza in the refrigerator, consuming within two days for best quality.
