Save to Pinterest A quick and crispy pizza made with a tortilla wrap as the base and customizable pantry toppings—perfect for a speedy, satisfying meal.
I first tried tortilla pizza on a busy weeknight when I needed comfort food in a hurry, and it instantly became a go-to meal in our household.
Ingredients
- Base: 2 large flour tortillas (8–10 inch)
- Sauce: 1/2 cup (120 ml) tomato passata or canned tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
- Cheese: 3/4 cup (75 g) shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup (25 g) grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- Pantry Toppings (choose any combination): 1/4 cup (35 g) canned sliced black olives (drained), 1/4 cup (30 g) jarred roasted red peppers (sliced), 1/4 cup (30 g) artichoke hearts (drained and chopped), 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (chopped), 1/4 cup (35 g) canned corn (drained), 1/4 cup (35 g) canned mushrooms (drained and sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat:
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) or set a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Prepare Base:
- Place each tortilla on a baking sheet or oven-safe skillet.
- Mix Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the tomato passata with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread & Top:
- Spread a thin layer of sauce over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce. Top with your choice of pantry toppings.
- Bake or Cook:
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp and the cheese is melted. (Alternatively, cook in a skillet for 3–4 minutes per side, covered, until cheese is melted and base is crisp.)
- Serve:
- Remove from oven, let cool for 1 minute, then slice and serve immediately.
