Description

Tortilla Wrap Pizza is a quick, easy, and customizable twist on traditional pizza that uses a crispy tortilla as the base instead of dough. Ready in under 15 minutes, this cheesy and flavorful snack or meal is perfect for busy days, last-minute cravings, or a fun cooking activity. With minimal ingredients and endless topping possibilities, it delivers satisfying crunch and melty cheese without the hassle.


Ingredients

Base

  • Flour tortillas (medium or large size) – 1 per pizza
  • Olive oil or cooking spray – for brushing edges

Pizza Sauce

  • Tomato sauce (marinara or pizza sauce) – 2-3 tablespoons per tortilla

Cheese

  • Shredded mozzarella cheese – 1/2 to 3/4 cup per tortilla
  • Optional: shredded cheddar or provolone – 1/4 cup for cheese blend

Fresh Toppings (choose as desired)

  • Sliced bell peppers
  • Olives
  • Mushrooms
  • Pepperoni
  • Grilled veggies (zucchini, spinach, caramelized onions) for vegetarian option
  • Cooked sausage, bacon bits, or shredded chicken for meat lovers
  • Jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven or Skillet: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat to prepare for crisping the tortilla.
  2. Prepare the Tortilla Base: Place the tortilla on a baking sheet or directly in the skillet and brush the edges lightly with olive oil or spray to help them brown and crisp evenly.
  3. Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread a thin, even layer of tomato sauce over the tortilla, leaving a small border. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the sauce for gooey, melted texture.
  4. Layer Your Favorite Toppings: Arrange your chosen toppings evenly on top of the cheese, being careful not to overload to keep the tortilla crispy.
  5. Cook Until Perfectly Crisp: Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or cook in the skillet with a lid on for 5-7 minutes until the cheese bubbles and tortilla edges turn golden and crispy.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove carefully, slice into wedges, and serve warm to enjoy the full flavor and crispness.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale tortillas as they crisp up better than fresh ones.
  • Do not overload toppings, especially wet ingredients, to prevent soggy tortillas.
  • Experiment with cheese blends like mozzarella mixed with parmesan or gouda for enhanced flavor.
  • Pre-cook raw toppings such as vegetables or meats for better texture and taste.
  • Using a pizza stone or baking steel helps achieve extra crispness and even cooking.
