Ingredients
Scale
Base and Sauce
- 5 flour tortillas (soft taco size)
- 1 cup pizza sauce
Cheese and Toppings
- 1+ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 30+ pepperoni slices (or stuffings of choice)
- Shredded parmesan (for topping)
Seasoning and Butter
- 3 tbsp butter (melted)
- 1/3 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Tortillas: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay out the flour tortillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they don’t overlap for even crisping.
- Apply Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Brush this flavorful mixture evenly over each tortilla to give the crust a rich, savory base and help it crisp in the oven.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese to cover the sauce completely, ensuring a gooey, melty topping.
- Top with Pepperoni: Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese on each tortilla. Feel free to add any additional toppings of your choice at this stage.
- Bake the Pizzas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted, is bubbly, and slightly golden, and the tortilla edges are crisp and golden brown.
- Finish with Parmesan: Remove the pizzas from the oven and immediately sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese on top for added flavor and a subtle cheesy crust.
- Serve: Allow the pizzas to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your crispy tortilla pizzas warm!
Notes
- Use soft flour tortillas for the best crispy yet pliable crust.
- Feel free to swap pepperoni for other toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, or cooked sausage.
- If you don’t have parmesan, additional mozzarella or a sprinkle of dried oregano works well.
- Watch carefully while baking to avoid burning the thin tortilla crust.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cheese with vegan cheese alternatives.
