Quick and Easy Tortilla Pizza

Individual tortilla pizza.

Here is an idea for making a quick and easy pizza. I usually keep a package of Boboli mini pizza crusts in my pantry, but the other day I was craving a pizza and didn't have any Boboli left. I took a quick look around my kitchen and found a package of flour tortillas in the bread drawer. I thought I could use the flour tortillas to make a thin crust, individual pizza.

Children's Pizza Party

Tortilla pizzas would make the perfect snack at your son or daughters sleep over or birthday party. Each child can choose the exact ingredients they want to put on their own individual pizza. Kids love helping out in the kitchen and will have a lot of fun picking out and placing their favorite toppings on top of their own tortilla pizza.

Flour tortillas brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with a pizza spice blend.

Tortilla Pizza Ingredients

• Flour tortillas
• Olive oil
• Pizza sauce
• Mozzarella cheese
• Toppings

Spread each tortilla with tomato sauce.

Tortilla Pizza Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Place one to three flour tortillas on a pizza baking sheet.
3. Lightly brush each tortilla with a small amount of olive oil.
4. Spread each tortilla with a bit of the tomato sauce.
5. Sprinkled shredded mozzarella cheese across the top of the tortilla.
6. Add toppings as desired, such as black olive slices, capers and fresh herbs.
7. Place the pizza pan in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese has completely melted and the tortilla has started to brown.
8. Remove from the oven, let cool, then use a pizza wheel to cut each tortilla pizza into 4 pieces.

Add cheese and toppings to each tortilla pizza.

Love the idea of torillas for a pizza. I don't like warm mayo so instead of mayo i used a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It was kind of like a bruschetta. Delicious. WIll definately make again
