Ingredients
Scale
Tortilla Base
- 2 – 8” or 10” flour tortillas
Pizza Sauce
- ½ cup (125g) pizza or pasta sauce, divided
Cheeses
- 3 Tablespoons (17g) grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- ½ cup (112g) shredded mozzarella, divided
Toppings
- 20 pepperoni slices OR assorted other toppings, divided
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Arrange one rack in the center of your oven and preheat it to 425ºF (218ºC). Place the flour tortillas on a flat surface ready for assembly.
- Spread Sauce: Spoon approximately ¼ cup (63g) of pizza or pasta sauce onto each tortilla. Spread the sauce evenly across the surface, leaving a small margin around the edges to ensure the crust crisps nicely.
- Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle about 1½ tablespoons (8.5g) of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over each tortilla, followed by ¼ cup (56g) of shredded mozzarella. Top with 10 slices of pepperoni or your preferred toppings, adjusting according to taste.
- Bake the Pizzas: Carefully place the prepared tortillas directly on the oven rack to allow the heat to crisp the base. Bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden and crispy. Alternatively, bake one at a time in a toaster oven or air fryer for the same amount of time.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving to enjoy the perfect balance of crunchy crust and gooey cheese.
Notes
- Flour tortillas: We recommend using “gordita” style tortillas for a thicker base that holds toppings better without getting soggy.
- Serving size adjustment: This recipe serves 2 but can be easily halved to make a single personal pizza.
- Oven alternatives: Apart from a conventional oven, pizzas can be cooked in a toaster oven or air fryer by toasting for 5 minutes.
