Tortilla Pizzas

These are a wonderful last-minute, go-to dinner for busy people. It's fun for kids to do and very easy to prepare. Also a great way to use up those last few tortillas that are about to go stale.



Tortilla Pizzas

flour tortillas
spaghetti sauce
toppings of your choice
shredded mozzerella

Bake tortillas right on the oven rack at 375 degrees for 5-7 minutes until just beginning to harden. Pull them out and place on a cookie sheet.

Dice veggie toppings finely--onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, thinly-sliced olives, etc. They must be diced/sliced very small so they don't overwhelm the delicate tortilla crust. Pepperoni is great too.

Spread a 2-3 Tbsp. spaghetti sauce over each tortilla. Make sure to go almost all the way to the edge to keep the edges from burning. Top with desired toppings, then cheese. Go light on the toppings and cheese to ensure that everything stays together when you cut it up.

Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is lightly browned. Slice up with a pizza cutter and enjoy!

This is a great way to serve custom pizzas to a group and/or for younger kids who might like to decorate their own pizzas. Just pre-bake tortillas, then arrange toppings on a plate or buffet-style in bowls at the table. Everyone can do their own toppings. Just be sure to mark whose is whose somehow!
