Ingredients
- 2 10-inch flour tortillas
- ½ cup pizza sauce, divided
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano, divided
- ¼ cup sliced olives
- ¼ cup sliced mushrooms
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to preheat—this gives your pizza a crispy bottom.
2. Build the First Layer:
- Place one tortilla on parchment paper.
- Spread ¼ cup pizza sauce evenly on top.
- Sprinkle with ¼ cup mozzarella and ¼ tsp oregano.
3. Add the Second Layer:
- Place the second tortilla directly on top.
- Spread the remaining ¼ cup sauce, ¼ cup cheese, and ¼ tsp oregano over it.
- Top with olives, mushrooms, and red pepper flakes, or your favorite toppings.
4. Bake:
- Using the parchment, carefully transfer the pizza onto the hot baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until edges are crisp and cheese is bubbly.
5. Serve:
- Let sit for 1 minute, then use a pizza cutter to slice into 4 or 6 slices.
- Enjoy hot!
Tips for Crispy Success
- Use a hot pizza stone or preheated sheet pan for best crust texture.
- Want extra crunch? Try brushing the bottom tortilla with a little oil before layering.
- Go light on the sauce to keep the tortillas from getting soggy.
- Want a gluten-free version? Use gluten-free tortillas with the same technique.
Topping Ideas
Switch it up with:
- Pepperoni & jalapeños
- Pesto, mozzarella & cherry tomatoes
- Cooked chicken, BBQ sauce & red onion
- Spinach & ricotta with garlic oil
- Or add a side of Beer Cheese Dip for dipping the crust edges
Storage & Leftovers
- Best fresh—tortilla pizzas are crispiest right out of the oven
- If storing:
- Fridge: Keep slices in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days
- Reheat: In oven or toaster oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to re-crisp
