How I Make Low-Carb Tortilla Pizzas
1. Preheat the Oven
I preheat my oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven to get it nice and hot.
2. Assemble the Pizza
I lay a low-carb tortilla on a piece of parchment paper or a baking sheet. Then I spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the tortilla, making sure to get all the way to the edges for maximum flavor.
3. Add Cheese and Toppings
I sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add my favorite toppings. Some of my go-to combinations are:
- Classic pepperoni and mushrooms
- Spinach, garlic, and feta
- Bell peppers, olives, and red onion
- Cooked Italian sausage and banana peppers
4. Bake Until Crispy
I transfer the tortilla pizza to the hot baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Garnish and Slice
Once out of the oven, I sprinkle a little Italian seasoning, add a pinch of red pepper flakes if I’m feeling spicy, and garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a fresh finish. Then I slice and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Low-Carb Tortilla Pizza
- Use a preheated baking sheet or pizza stone for the crispiest crust.
- Go easy on heavy toppings — too many can make the tortilla soggy.
- Add a light drizzle of olive oil before baking for extra richness and crisp edges.
- Use fresh mozzarella slices if you want a gourmet touch.
- Double up the tortillas for a slightly thicker, more substantial crust if desired.
What to Serve with Tortilla Pizzas
- A crisp green salad with balsamic vinaigrette
- Garlic roasted vegetables
- A light tomato soup for dipping
- Sparkling water with lemon or a glass of red wine for a cozy touch
