Tortilla Pizza Recipe
Description
The Tortilla Pizza Recipe uses olive oil greased pans and 6-inch tortillas to make a thin, crisp crust. The tortillas are heated in a skillet to slightly brown and crisp the base. Sauce spreads thinly to the edges before mozzarella cheese and optional toppings are added. Baking in a hot oven melts the cheese and crisps the tortilla edges without burning. Final skillet heating browns the bottom for added texture. Fresh basil or herbs added after cooking add freshness.
The pizzas work well as quick individual meals or as appetizer portions. The method allows for versatile toppings—ranging from classic mozzarella and dried herbs to sliced vegetables or cooked meats—to suit various preferences.
Several topping combos are suggested, such as New York style with dried herbs and garlic powder, a margherita with fresh basil and hot honey drizzle, or variations with vegetables and bacon. This flexibility helps customize the pizzas to different tastes and dietary needs.
Ingredients
- olive oil for greasing the pan, spray form
- 2 tortilla I love Siete gluten-free grain-free cassava tortillas, 6-inch
- 4 tablespoons tomato sauce or marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese full-fat
- Toppings of choice (such as thinly sliced vegetables, dried or fresh herbs)
- basil for topping, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Spray the oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and warm over medium-high heat. When hot place one tortilla in the pan. Reduce heat to medium and let cook for 1 minute.
- Flip the tortilla and cook for an additional minute while you add 2 tablespoons of sauce, spreading it all the way to the tortilla’s edge.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese or any toppings of your choice, reserving fresh herbs to finish.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the edges of the tortilla are golden brown but not burned (if you’re not using cheese, check on the early side).
- Transfer the pan back to the stove and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes over medium heat, until the bottom is browned, but not burned.
- Transfer the pizza to a plate and let it cool slightly. Top with fresh herbs, if using.
- Repeat with second pizza and serve.
Notes
- Use a spray olive oil to grease your skillet to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Cook tortillas briefly on each side before adding sauce and toppings to achieve a crisp but pliable base.
- Watch carefully when baking to avoid burning the thin crust; baking time is short, about 2 to 4 minutes.
- Fresh herbs like basil added after baking enhance flavor without wilting.
- Experiment with various toppings but keep slices thin to ensure even cooking on the quick bake time.
