  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat up.
  2. Prepare Tortillas:
    Lay each tortilla on a sheet of parchment paper. Lightly toast them in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side if you want extra crispiness.
  3. Add Sauce and Cheese:
    Spread 2-3 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edge. Sprinkle a generous handful of shredded mozzarella over the top.
  4. Add Toppings:
    Customize each tortilla with your favorite toppings. Don’t overload them, as the tortilla is thin and cooks fast.
  5. Bake:
    Carefully transfer the parchment with the tortilla pizzas onto the preheated baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortilla is golden and crispy.
  6. Serve:
    Let them cool slightly, then slice into quarters or halves. Serve with a sprinkle of parmesan, fresh basil, or red pepper flakes.

Tips & Tricks

  • Crispier Crust: Toasting the tortillas in a dry pan before baking adds a satisfying crunch.
  • Air Fryer Option: These cook beautifully in an air fryer at 400°F for 4-6 minutes.
  • Kid-Friendly: Let kids build their own pizzas—it’s fun and encourages them to try new toppings.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary needs.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven for a crisp finish.
