Save A quick and crispy pizza made with a tortilla wrap as the base and customizable pantry toppings—perfect for a speedy, satisfying meal.
The first time I made tortilla pizza, it was a weeknight and I wanted something fast and fun. My family could pick their own toppings, and everyone ended up with their favorite flavors—it's been a staple ever since!
