Make it Gluten Free
This can easily be made into a gluten free tortilla pizza. Purchase flour tortillas that are gluten free. The Mission brand tortilla carries an excellent tortilla that holds up well and is not crumbly. Most local grocery stores carry this brand. I found them at target.
Corn tortillas have not been tested with the recipe, and are not recommended as I have found in past experiences that they do not usually hold together very well.
Topping Ideas
- Pepperoni
- Sausage
- Pineapple
- Canadian Bacon
- Green peppers
- Onions
- Mushrooms
Make it Healthier
This pizza provides a lot of food for the amount of calories it contains. A typical slice of cheese pizza contains 285 calories. This entire pizza contains about 280 calories (depending on the brand of tortilla used). Basically, you get more "bang for your buck".
Here some ways to make the tortilla pizza healthier:
- Use a 100% whole wheat tortilla. Mission brand makes an excellent whole wheat tortilla.
- Top it with veggies: onions, green peppers, olives, spinach.
- Add some cooked, chopped chicken- this would add some extra protein.
- Limit the toppings that are higher in calories and fat, such as sausage, pepperoni and bacon.
- Use half the amount of cheese and load on the veggies.
Make it For A Crowd
This recipe is perfect for a make your own pizza night! Simply lay out all ingredients and let participants top their tortillas with whichever pizza toppings they desire.
This recipe makes one serving. Double, triple, or so on all the ingredients to make more servings. You can easily make about 7 -8 pizza's by using 1 bag of cheese, 1 can of sauce and 1 bag of tortillas.
Tortilla Pizza in the Oven
This works well in the oven. Bake in a preheated oven at 425F for 5 minutes on a cookie sheet. It's that easy! Be careful not to over cook. Any longer than 5 minutes may burn the cheese.
Tortilla Pizza in the Skillet
Tortilla pizza can also be made in a skillet.
- Place a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the skillet.
- Place tortilla on the skillet, cook for 1 minute.
- Flip the tortilla, add sauce, cheese and toppings.
- Transfer pan to oven and broil for 2 minutes.
