Save A quick and crispy pizza made with a tortilla wrap as the base and customizable pantry toppings—perfect for a speedy, satisfying meal.
I first tried tortilla pizza on a weeknight when my fridge was nearly empty, and it quickly became my go-to for effortless meals that taste like comfort.
Ingredients
- Base: 2 large flour tortillas (8–10 inch)
- Sauce: 1/2 cup (120 ml) tomato passata or canned tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper (to taste)
- Cheese: 3/4 cup (75 g) shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup (25 g) grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- Pantry Toppings (choose any combination): 1/4 cup (35 g) canned sliced black olives (drained), 1/4 cup (30 g) jarred roasted red peppers (sliced), 1/4 cup (30 g) artichoke hearts (drained and chopped), 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (chopped), 1/4 cup (35 g) canned corn (drained), 1/4 cup (35 g) canned mushrooms (drained and sliced)
Instructions

- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) or set a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Arrange Tortillas:
- Place each tortilla on a baking sheet or oven-safe skillet.
- Mix Sauce:

Brushing the tortilla lightly with olive oil before adding sauce and toppings helps achieve a crispier texture.
