Save A quick and crispy pizza made with a tortilla wrap as the base and customizable pantry toppings—perfect for a speedy, satisfying meal.
I first made this tortilla pizza on a hectic weeknight when I needed dinner fast and discovered how fun it is to mix and match toppings using whatever I had on hand.
Ingredients
- Base: 2 large flour tortillas (8–10 inch)
- Sauce: 1/2 cup (120 ml) tomato passata or canned tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper, to taste
- Cheese: 3/4 cup (75 g) shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup (25 g) grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- Pantry Toppings (choose any combination): 1/4 cup (35 g) canned sliced black olives, drained, 1/4 cup (30 g) jarred roasted red peppers, sliced, 1/4 cup (30 g) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped, 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped, 1/4 cup (35 g) canned corn, drained, 1/4 cup (35 g) canned mushrooms, drained and sliced
Instructions

- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) or set a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Prepare Tortillas:
- Place each tortilla on a baking sheet or oven-safe skillet.
- Mix Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the tomato passata with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
