Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large flour tortilla 10-12 inch burrito size works best for stability
  • 2 tbsp pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese low-moisture part-skim melts best
  • 8-10 slices pepperoni optional, or your favorite toppings
  • 1 tsp olive oil for brushing
  • 1 pinch dried oregano optional, for finishing
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes optional, for heat

Equipment

  • Rimmed baking sheet or pizza stone
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush (or your fingers)
  • Cutting board and pizza cutter

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) with a baking sheet or pizza stone inside. This preheating step is crucial for getting a crispy bottom on your tortilla crust.
  2. Brush one side of the tortilla lightly with olive oil. This will be the bottom. Place it oil-side down on a piece of parchment paper. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge.
  3. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then arrange your pepperoni or other toppings. A light hand with toppings ensures the tortilla stays crisp.
  4. Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated baking sheet or stone. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the tortilla are deep golden brown and crisp.
  5. Remove from the oven using oven mitts. Let it rest on the pan for 1 minute to set, then slide onto a cutting board. Sprinkle with oregano and red pepper flakes if desired, slice, and serve immediately.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For extra crispness, you can bake the oiled tortilla alone for 2 minutes before adding toppings.
• Avoid overloading with wet toppings like fresh tomatoes, as they can make the center soggy.
• Serve immediately for the best texture; it doesn't hold well for long periods.
Food Safety:
• Ensure cheese is fully melted and bubbling before consuming.
• Refrigerate any leftovers within 2 hours of cooking.
