Quick crisp tortillas topped with mozzarella, tomato sauce, and fresh veggies baked to perfection.

# What You Need:

→ Base

01 - 2 large flour tortillas (8–10 inch)

→ Sauce

02 - 1/3 cup tomato sauce or pizza sauce

→ Cheese

03 - 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Toppings

# How To Make It:

01 - Heat oven to 425°F and place a baking sheet inside to warm.
02 - Place tortillas on parchment paper and lightly brush both sides with olive oil.
03 - Evenly spread tomato sauce over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
04 - Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce-covered tortillas.
05 - Distribute sliced black olives, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and baby spinach evenly atop the cheese.
06 - Sprinkle dried oregano and, if desired, a pinch of red pepper flakes over the assembled pizzas.
07 - Transfer tortillas on parchment to the preheated baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are golden and cheese has melted.
08 - Remove from oven, allow to cool for one minute, garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, slice, and serve.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The whole thing comes together in 20 minutes, making weeknight dinners feel less stressful and more intentional.
  • Your tortilla gets genuinely crispy on the edges in a way that feels almost forbidden compared to regular pizza crust.
  • You can customize each pizza individually, so picky eaters and adventurous ones sit happily at the same table.
02 -
  • The preheated baking sheet is non-negotiable if you want a crispy bottom—without it, you'll get a chewy tortilla that tastes fine but misses the whole point of this recipe.
  • Parchment paper prevents sticking and burns, so don't skip it even if you think your baking sheet is non-stick enough.
  • Oversaucing is the most common mistake, turning your pizza into a soggy disappointment that tastes good but doesn't satisfy in the same way.
03 -
  • If you want extra crispiness, place the tortillas directly on the oven rack instead of the baking sheet, but watch them carefully because they can brown faster without the buffer underneath.
  • Keep your toppings relatively dry—pat cherry tomatoes and olives with a paper towel to remove excess moisture that would make the base soggy.
