Crispy Tortilla Pizza (Printable)

An ultra-crispy tortilla layered with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh toppings baked to golden perfection.

# Ingredient List:

→ Base

01 - 2 large all-purpose flour tortillas (8–10 inch)

→ Sauce

02 - 1/3 cup tomato sauce or prepared pizza sauce

→ Cheese

03 - 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Toppings

04 - 1/4 cup sliced black olives
05 - 1/4 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
06 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
07 - 1/4 cup baby spinach leaves
08 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
09 - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

→ Optional

10 - Pinch of red pepper flakes
11 - Fresh basil leaves for garnish

# Steps:

01 - Set oven temperature to 425°F and place a baking sheet inside to heat.
02 - Place tortillas on parchment paper and lightly brush both sides with olive oil.
03 - Spread tomato sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
04 - Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly atop the sauce.
05 - Distribute desired toppings including olives, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and spinach over the cheese.
06 - Sprinkle dried oregano and red pepper flakes if using, over the layer of toppings.
07 - Transfer tortillas with parchment to the preheated baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until edges turn golden and cheese melts.
08 - Remove from oven, allow to cool for 1 minute, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve immediately.

# Tips from the Pros:

01 -
  • You get pizza cravings satisfied in the time it takes to watch a TV episode, no dough rising required.
  • That tortilla crust becomes impossibly crispy and shatteringly satisfying in a way that still surprises me.
  • It's a blank canvas that works with whatever vegetables linger in your crisper drawer.
02 -
  • Preheating the baking sheet is non-negotiable—without it, you'll end up with a soft tortilla that tastes like a squishy quesadilla instead of pizza, which I learned the hard way the first time I skipped this step.
  • Don't load the toppings like you're trying to build a delivery pizza—a lighter hand means everything cooks evenly and the tortilla stays crispy rather than steaming itself into sadness.
03 -
  • Keep a close eye on the first pizza you make with your oven because every oven has a personality—once you know how yours behaves, future batches become automatic and foolproof.
  • For maximum crispness and to skip the parchment paper step entirely, place the oiled tortilla directly on a preheated oven rack, but position a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drips and prevent the bottom from charring.
