Recipe FAQs

Can I use a skillet instead of an oven?

Yes, cooking the tortilla pizza in a covered skillet for 3-4 minutes per side melts the cheese and crisps the base effectively.

What are good pantry toppings to add?

Popular choices include black olives, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, corn, and mushrooms.

How can I make it non-vegetarian?

Add drained canned tuna, cooked sausage, or pepperoni on top before cooking to introduce meat flavors.

Is it possible to prepare without tomato sauce?

Yes, pesto is a delicious alternative that adds a fresh herbal flavor to the base.

How do I achieve a crispier base?

Lightly brushing the tortilla with olive oil before adding toppings enhances crispiness during cooking.
