This has to be one of the most dangerous snacks I’ve ever learned to make. Tortilla Pizzas are incredibly versatile, quick and easy to make, and they’re one of the tastiest ways to get extra fiber.

Tortilla Pizzas

This is where I ask the questions about making these Tortilla Pizzas. Olivia gives her answers. Sometimes, we laugh. Sometimes, you laugh. So, everyone wins.

What would you rate this recipe? 

8/10. Sometimes, it feels a little too greasy, but I love the savory pepperonis after they have been heated in the oven. 

How would you describe the flavors and experience of eating this dish with someone who has never tasted it before?

When I think of a crunchy tortilla, I think of a quesadilla. This pizza isn’t that crunchy. So, the crust is thin and has a little crunch. But, it’s softer. 

What part of making this dish did you enjoy the most, and why?

I like sprinkling the cheese onto the pizzas. And I like cutting them at the end. The cheese pull is so satisfying when you pull the slices apart. 

Did you feel like you learned anything while making it? 

I learned about the broiler. It’s a really fast way to get high heat for stuff like this. But, you have to be careful. Because you could really burn yourself bad. And, you can also burn the pizza. So you have to watch it the whole time. 

If we made it again, what would you want to do differently next time?

I would add different toppings, like black olives or kielbasa. I would also dab the grease off with a napkin before eating it.

Dad’s Notes

I tried several different temperatures to bake these in the oven before finally giving in and trying the broiler at my sister’s suggestion. Total game changer.

We don’t time these pizzas in the pan. Just let them cook until the bottom is getting slightly crisped. And, the timer for the broiler is the upper limit. I pull them out earlier, if they’re finished.

Depending on your stove type and the oven you have, your times may vary. You’ll know you waited too long because the cheese has broken or separated (where the oils separate from the proteins).

I always make tortilla pizzas with a high fiber tortilla. They may be called fiber wraps, carb balance, or keto friendly. The La Banderita Carb Counter tortillas I use come with an 10 extra grams of fiber.
