Tortilla pizza is a quick and easy way to enjoy the delicious flavors of a classic pizza without the lengthy preparation and cooking time. Using a tortilla as the base provides a crispy and thin crust that is perfect for a quick snack or an easy meal. This recipe features a simple topping of tomato paste and mozzarella cheese, making it both flavorful and straightforward to prepare.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a toaster oven, preheat to the same temperature.
- Place the tortilla on a baking sheet or pizza stone. If you prefer a crispier base, you can place it directly on the oven rack.
- Using a spoon, spread the 2 tablespoons of canned tomato paste evenly over the surface of the tortilla. Make sure to leave a small border around the edge to act as the pizza's crust.
- Sprinkle the 1 ounce of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato paste. Ensure the cheese is spread out so each bite will have a good cheese-to-sauce ratio.
- Place the baking sheet with the prepared tortilla pizza into the preheated oven.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortilla are golden and crispy.
- Carefully remove the tortilla pizza from the oven. Allow it to cool for a minute or so on the baking sheet, as this will help the cheese set slightly.
- Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the pizza into quarters or eights, depending on your preference.
- You can also add some optional toppings like sliced olives, pepperoni, bell peppers, or fresh basil before baking.
- Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, or some Italian seasoning for an extra flavor boost.
Tips:
- Make sure the tortilla is fully baked and crispy before adding toppings for the best texture.
- Consider adding additional toppings such as pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, or fresh basil for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the tomato paste before adding the cheese.
- Use a preheated oven and cook the pizza on the middle rack to ensure even baking.
- To make the pizza more filling, consider using a larger tortilla or doubling up on the layers.
In just a few simple steps, you've made a delicious tortilla pizza that is perfect for any time of the day. The crispy tortilla crust combined with the rich tomato paste and melted mozzarella is sure to be a hit. Enjoy this quick and easy recipe, and feel free to experiment with additional toppings of your choice!
