How to Make Easy Tortilla Pizzas
Once you learn how to make these simple Tortilla Pizzas, they're sure to become part of your regular dinner rotation. They're that easy and delicious!
I've come up with three toppings for these yummy mini pizzas: Tomato-Basil (Margherita), Spicy Spinach, and Mushroom-Thyme. The Tomato-Basil Pizza has no sauce, and the other two use my Quick Pizza Sauce recipe that's super simple to make.
Start the sauce first, if you're using using. That way it will have time to cool a bit before you make the pizzas.
The Tomato-Basil Tortilla Pizzas require no cook time at all, apart from baking. So if you're really in a time pinch, this is your pizza!
For the Mushroom-Thyme Pizza, you simply need to saute the mushrooms until browned, then season them with thyme and salt. If you're making the Spicy Spinach Pizzas, you'll saute the spinach with garlic and red pepper flakes, just until wilted.
To assemble the pizzas, you'll top flour tortillas with pizza sauce (or olive oil, for the Tomato-Basil Pizza). Then, comes the cheese, and finally, the toppings.
After you've adding your pizza toppings, it's time to bake your mini Tortilla Pizzas. They're going to get nice and crispy!
Make sure to keep an eye on your pizzas, because they cook quickly. They take about 10 minutes, and then it's time to eat ... the best part, for sure.
One bite of these Easy Tortilla Pizzas, and you will be in love. Make them tonight!
