Tortilla Pizza Recipe

Tortillas: Thin, round flatbreads that serve as the base for our pizza.

Tomato sauce: A rich and tangy sauce that forms the foundation of the pizza's flavor.

Shredded mozzarella cheese: A creamy and melty cheese that gives the pizza its classic cheesy goodness.

Sliced pepperoni: Savory and slightly spicy slices of cured meat that add a burst of flavor.

Dried oregano: A fragrant herb that enhances the overall taste with its earthy notes.

When spreading the tomato sauce on the tortillas, use the back of a spoon to ensure an even layer. This helps to prevent any soggy spots and ensures that each bite has a balanced flavor. Additionally, for a crispier base, you can pre-bake the tortillas for 2-3 minutes before adding the toppings. This technique helps to create a sturdier crust that can hold up better under the weight of the cheese and pepperoni.

• Allow the tortilla pizza to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation, which can make the tortillas soggy.
• Wrap each tortilla pizza individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.
• Place the wrapped tortilla pizzas in a resealable plastic bag or an airtight container. Label the bag or container with the date to keep track of storage time.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, place the wrapped tortilla pizzas in the freezer, where they can be kept for up to 2 months.
• When ready to reheat, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the tortilla pizza from the wrapping and place it on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes if refrigerated, or 15-20 minutes if frozen, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortilla is crisp.
• For a quicker reheating option, use a microwave. Place the tortilla pizza on a microwave-safe plate and heat on high for 1-2 minutes if refrigerated, or 3-4 minutes if frozen. Note that the tortilla may not be as crisp as when reheated in the oven.
• Enjoy your reheated tortilla pizza with your favorite toppings or sides.
