This tortilla pizza recipe gives you all of the flavors of pizza without all the work or calories. Pile on your favorite toppings for an easy pizza night.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with having a couple of pieces of real pizza from a pizza place or even homemade. But I like to have pizza more often than that, so I love making these tortilla pizzas with low carb flour tortillas when a craving hits.
This recipe is so simple, you really can't even call it a recipe. It's more like a tutorial for a tortilla pizza. The best part is the whole family will want to chip in and make their own pizzas!
How to make easy tortilla pizzas
Pre-heat the oven to 425F. Prepare the pizza by placing the tortilla on a work surface. Spread the tomato sauce on top, then sprinkle the cheese. finish with the toppings of choice.
Topping ideas include: ground beef, red onion, black olives, bbq chicken and bbq sauce, Italian sausage, and green bell peppers. I would skip fresh mozzarella because it has so much moisture.
For the crispiest tortilla pizza crust, bake the pizza directly in a large cast iron skillet.
Slice the tortilla pizza with a pizza cutter and serve.

I have found browning two smaller tortillas in a fry pan and gluing them together with cheese and then following up with toppings makes for a crispy pizza.
