Easy tortilla pizza [Crispy Personal Pizzas]

Make your own personalized pizza in minutes with this easy Tortilla Pizza Recipe! Easily adjusted and doubled or tripled, you can make homemade pizza for the whole family with little effort.

The BEST tortilla pizza

We have pizza on repeat for our weekly meal plans. It’s a hit with everyone in my family and easy to whip up…for the most part. While I love a fresh homemade pizza crust, that’s not always going to happen on a casual weeknight. Keyword: tortilla pizza!

Tortilla pizza is the answer to all your pizza night problems. You simply omit the pizza dough in favor of a store-bought tortilla, and then add your favorite toppings. You’ll end up with a perfectly crispy, personalized pizza that you and your whole family will obsess over. It’s faster and easier than ordering!

Ingredients in tortilla pizza

• Big tortillas – Be sure to shop the wide range. Usually around 10 inches or sold as “burrito size” or “gordita style”. Use a gluten-free tortilla or low-carb tortillas if desired, but you’ll need to adjust the baking time as they tend to burn more easily.
• sauce – You can use a classic pizza sauce like marinara sauce or get creative and use something different like enchilada sauce or pesto.
• Cheese – I like to use mozzarella cheese, but you can use any cheese or cheese mix you like (parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese or even ricotta are all great)
• toppings – see topping suggestions below, but the sky really is the limit! Vegetables or meat (pepperoni, ham, sausage, etc.) are great ideas.

How to make tortilla pizza

STEP 1: PUT PIZZA ON

Place your large tortilla on a baking sheet and cover with sauce, spreading evenly. Leave a small border around the tortilla to serve as a crust. Sprinkle with cheese and your desired toppings.

STEP 2: BAKING + CUTTING

Place in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned and cheese is bubbling. Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Topping Ideas + Variations

Classic margarita – just your classic tomato sauce, cheese and some fresh basil.

Vegetarian – Add a few tablespoons of fresh tomatoes, red onions and red or green peppers. Olives are great too, if you like them.

meat lover – Add about 1/4 cup meat like pepperoni, cooked sausage, or ground beef.

Pesto – Store-bought or homemade pesto instead of pizza sauce. Top with the cheese of your choice.

Mexican style – Use enchilada sauce instead of pizza sauce. Garnish with a mixed Mexican cheese and your choice of toppings.

BBQ style – Use BBQ sauce instead of pizza sauce.

buffalo style – Use buffalo sauce instead of pizza sauce and top with blue cheese sprinkles.
