Ingredients

  • 2 8-inch flour tortillas
  • ¼ cup pizza sauce
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1-1 ½ ounces pepperoni or your choice of toppings
  • 2 small mushrooms sliced
  • Fresh basil torn

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the tortillas on the parchment paper in a single layer and bake for 2 minutes. Flip and bake for another 2 minutes. 
  • Spread 1-2 tablespoons pizza sauce over the tortillas. Remember that less is better for a crispy crust. 
  • Sprinkle half of the cheese over the sauce. Add toppings but not too heavy for a crispy crust. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. 
  • Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned and the tortilla is crispy on the edges. Sprinkle with torn fresh basil, cut, and serve. 

Notes

  • I use raw flour tortillas because I think they crisp up the best, but you can use already-cooked tortillas. Remember to crisp them in the oven before adding sauce and toppings.
  • Go easy on the sauce. Too much pizza sauce will make the tortilla soggy. Resist using any thinner sauce like marinara or spaghetti sauce. Pizza sauce is thicker, and the crust will cook up crispier.
  • Avoid using too many toppings or too wet toppings, as it too, can keep the pizza from getting crisp.
  • Use a baking sheet with parchment paper for even baking, better browning, and easier cleanup. Make sure your parchment paper is rated for 425 degrees or higher,
  • For optimum flavor and texture, serve promptly. These pizzas are crisp and slightly flaky when eaten promptly after baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 375 degrees or in the air fryer.
