Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 taco or fajita-sized flour tortilla
Sauce
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce (adjust to taste)
Cheese
- 1/4 – 1/3 cup shredded cheese (a mix of Mozzarella and mild Cheddar recommended)
Toppings
- Chopped pepperoni or toppings of choice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425° F to get it hot enough for a crispy tortilla with bubbly cheese.
- Prepare the Base: Place the flour tortilla on an ungreased baking sheet to serve as your pizza crust.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top, followed by your preferred toppings like chopped pepperoni.
- Bake: Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the tortilla edges turn golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, slice into pieces, and enjoy your delicious tortilla pizza immediately.
Notes
- You can use any type of melty cheese you prefer, such as Monterey Jack, Gouda, or a vegan cheese alternative.
- Customize toppings according to your taste—vegetables, cooked sausage, or even pineapple can work well.
- For extra crispiness, try placing the tortilla directly on the oven rack with a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch drips.
- If you want a gluten-free version, substitute the flour tortilla with a gluten-free tortilla.
- Watch closely towards the end of baking to avoid burning the tortilla edges.
