Save A quick and crispy pizza made with a tortilla wrap as the base and customizable pantry toppings, perfect for a speedy, satisfying meal. This Tortilla Pizza is the answer when you need something delicious in minutes, using ingredients straight from the pantry.
I first tried making tortilla pizza when I had only a few ingredients left and needed a fast dinner. It’s become a fun weeknight staple in my house because every pizza can be customized, and everyone gets exactly what they want.
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas (8–10 inch): Thin and crisp base
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) tomato passata or canned tomato sauce: Makes a tangy, classic pizza sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil: Adds richness to the sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano: For classic Italian aroma
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder: Savory depth
- Salt and pepper, to taste: Enhance flavors
- 3/4 cup (75 g) shredded mozzarella cheese: Melts perfectly for pizza topping
- 1/4 cup (25 g) grated parmesan cheese (optional): For sharp, savory extra flavor
- Pantry toppings (choose any combination):
- 1/4 cup (35 g) canned sliced black olives, drained: Briny bite
- 1/4 cup (30 g) jarred roasted red peppers, sliced: Sweet, smoky flavor
- 1/4 cup (30 g) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped: Tangy, hearty bite
- 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped: Intense tomato flavor
- 1/4 cup (35 g) canned corn, drained: Touch of sweetness

Brushing the tortilla lightly with olive oil before adding toppings helps achieve extra crispiness.
