Tortilla Pizzas
Description
This recipe starts by spreading sauce evenly over medium-large flour tortillas, then topping each with shredded mozzarella cheese. The pizzas bake in the oven or cast-iron skillet until the tortilla edges brown and the cheese bubbles, typically within 7 to 9 minutes. The quick bake produces a thin crust that crisps while the cheese melts fully.
Before serving, crushed red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese, and fresh basil leaf can be added for extra flavor. The simplicity and speed make these tortilla pizzas handy for casual meals or snacks. The crust tends to be thin and crispy, differing from thicker traditional pizza dough.
Substitutions for gluten-free or vegan diets are straightforward with gluten-free tortillas or dairy-free cheese, supporting dietary preferences. These pizzas are best enjoyed fresh from the oven to retain crispness and melted cheese texture.
Ingredients
- 4 flour tortilla 8-10 inch ideally
- 1 cup pizza sauce or your favorite pasta sauce
- 1 ⅓ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- Parmesan Cheese optional toppings, fresh basil
- crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

- Bake tortilla pizzas in a cast-iron skillet, on a pizza stone or directly on the oven rack (with a cookie sheet below to catch any melted cheese drips) for 7-9 minutes or until edges are browned and cheese is bubbling. Cook time will vary based on your oven and size of tortillas. Watch carefully near the end so that the tortillas don't burn.

Notes
- Use gluten-free or grain-free tortillas to make this recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive diets.
- Dairy-free shredded cheese can replace mozzarella for vegan or lactose-free options.
