- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup your favorite pizza toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, etc.)
How to Make Quick Tortilla Pizza (3 Steps & Timing)
Preheat the oven:
to 400°F (200°C).
Assemble your pizza:
Place the tortilla on a baking sheet. Spread 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly on the tortilla, leaving a small border. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add 1/4 cup of your favorite pizza toppings.
Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Look for the cheese to be melted and bubbly, while the tortilla should be lightly browned. After baking, let it cool slightly before slicing.
Quick Sides & Serving Ideas
- Garlic bread: Serve with warm slices of garlic bread.
- Side salad: A simple green salad can brighten up the meal.
- Dipping sauce: Offer marinara or ranch for dipping.
- Fruit cup: Serve fresh fruit for a refreshing side.
Storage & Reheat (No Soggy Leftovers)
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the Quick Tortilla Pizza for up to 2 months. To reheat, place it in the air fryer or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to keep it crispy.
Got Leftovers? Make Them Work for You
Leftovers don’t have to be boring. Most of the time they’re a head start on tomorrow’s meal. Toss roasted veggies into eggs, turn last night’s chicken into wraps, or freeze soups for a lazy-night rescue. The trick is storing them right and keeping it simple. That way, instead of another chore, leftovers feel like a shortcut. See more easy ideas here and make the most of what you’ve got.

FAQs About Quick Tortilla Pizza Recipe
Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour?
Yes, corn tortillas work fine but will be smaller and crispier. Keep an eye on the bake time since they can brown quicker than flour tortillas.
What if my tortilla doesn’t get crispy?
Try baking directly on the oven rack instead of a baking sheet. You can also brush a thin layer of olive oil on the bottom of the tortilla before baking.
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can assemble them a few hours in advance and refrigerate, but bake right before serving for the crispiest results.
What toppings work best for tortilla pizza?
Stick to lighter toppings like thinly sliced veggies, pepperoni, or shredded chicken. Heavy toppings may weigh down the tortilla.
Can I freeze tortilla pizza?
Yes bake first, let cool, then freeze wrapped tightly. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for a crispy finish.
