Ingredients
Base
- 2 (8-inch) flour tortillas
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons pizza sauce
Cheeses
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese
Toppings
- 2 oz sliced pepperoni
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Arrange Tortillas: Lay the two flour tortillas flat on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Spread Sauce: Evenly spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each tortilla, leaving a small border near the edges to mimic a traditional pizza crust.
- Add Mozzarella: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each sauced tortilla, distributing it evenly to cover most of the surface.
- Add Pepperoni: Divide the sliced pepperoni between the two tortillas, placing them evenly over the mozzarella.
- Sprinkle Parmesan and Oregano: Sprinkle the finely grated parmesan cheese and dried oregano evenly atop the pepperoni and mozzarella layers for extra flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the tortillas are crisp and golden.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve immediately for a crispy, cheesy mini pizza experience.
Notes
- Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free alternative, but note the texture will be different.
- Feel free to customize toppings with veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the tortillas for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
- To avoid sogginess, avoid adding too much sauce.
- Leftover tortilla pizzas can be reheated in the oven or toaster oven to retain crispiness.
