The Best Tortilla Crust Pizza

November 28, 2017 by Kristen Smith

With a few surprisingly easy steps and a pair of flour tortillas you can create a thin crust pizza for one. 

The Best Tortilla Crust Pizza

Hey Friends!

I hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday and got to spend some relaxing time with family and friends.  A few days before I unplugged from social media for the holiday this recipe for the Best Tortilla Crust Pizza was created.  I had no idea this quick and easy recipe would turn out so delicious. This recipe is seriously one of the most delicious homemade pizzas I have ever made (and if you follow along on the blog you know I have made several pizza recipes).  The hubs actually thought he was eating a thin crust pizza I pulled out of the freezer.

So what is the secret to successfully creating the Best Tortilla Crust Pizza ever?!  A typical tortilla crust would be too thin and flimsy for a pizza.  The secret is to actually layer two tortillas together with a very thin layer of mozzarella cheese in between.  The layers create a flaky thin-crust pizza.  The key is to not overdo the cheese portion in between the tortillas or add too much pizza sauce or cheese on top. The result will be a soggy pizza that lacks crunch.  Also, make sure you bake the pizza until the tortilla is well browned to ensure a crunchy crust.

Let’s talk tortillas now!  My current tortilla addiction is actually purchasing uncooked tortillas that are in a flattened dough form and quickly cook them myself.  Each tortilla takes about 60 seconds to prepare (possibly a little longer if you want a more crunchy tortilla).  I have created so many different recipes with these tortillas.  If these tortillas are not available in your local grocer the already cooked packaged tortillas will also work for this recipe.

I hope you enjoy!
