A quick golden-baked tortilla with mozzarella, tomato sauce, and fresh veggies for easy meals.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Base

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

→ Sauce

02 - 1/3 cup tomato sauce or 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

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F and place a baking sheet inside to heat.
02 - Lay 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 evenly over the sauce on each tortilla.
05 - Arrange desired toppings—sliced olives, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and spinach—over the cheese.
06 - Sprinkle dried oregano and, if preferred, red pepper flakes on top of the toppings.
07 - Transfer the tortillas on parchment to the preheated baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are golden and cheese is melted.
08 - Remove from oven, let cool for 1 minute, garnish with fresh basil if desired, slice, and serve.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's ready in 20 minutes flat, making it the perfect answer to sudden hunger or unexpected guests.
  • Tortillas crisp up in a way regular pizza dough never could, giving you that shatteringly satisfying bite.
  • You control every topping, so it works whether you're vegetarian, avoiding gluten, or just want something simple.
02 -
  • Parchment paper is not optional—I learned this by trying to transfer an oiled tortilla without it, and it stuck to the baking sheet like it was welded there.
  • A preheated baking sheet is the secret to crispiness; a cold sheet means the bottom steams instead of crisps no matter how long you bake.
03 -
  • For extra crispiness, lay the tortilla directly on the oven rack instead of parchment, but watch it like a hawk because the bottom can burn in seconds.
  • Keep the sauce thin—if it's too thick or wet, it softens the tortilla instead of cooking into it.
