Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large flour tortillas (or corn tortillas for a gluten-free version)
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (or pizza sauce)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Toppings of choice (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, olives, spinach, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Olive oil (for brushing the tortillas)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Lay the tortillas flat on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with olive oil to help them crisp up as they bake.
- Add the Sauce: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce (about 2-3 tablespoons) on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Top with Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese. Add any additional toppings you like (e.g., pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, etc.).
- Season the Pizzas: Sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder over the top for extra flavor.
- Bake: Bake the tortilla pizzas in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the tortilla are crispy.
- Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two before slicing into wedges and serving.
Notes
- Tortilla pizzas are incredibly versatile! You can add any of your favorite pizza toppings, such as sausage, bacon, pineapple, or fresh basil.
- You can use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
- For an extra crispy crust, you can briefly toast the tortilla in a hot skillet before adding the sauce and toppings.
