It sounds like you’re talking about making a 1-Tortilla Pizza or a Tortilla Pizza that’s quick and super delicious, with a single tortilla as the base. It’s an easy, healthy, and customizable option that tastes amazing, and yes, some people even say it tastes better than pizza because of how crispy and flavorful it gets! Here’s how to make it:
1-Tortilla Pizza Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 large flour tortilla (you can also use a whole wheat or gluten-free tortilla if preferred)
- 2-3 tablespoons pizza sauce (or marinara sauce)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or any cheese you like)
- Toppings of your choice: pepperoni, veggies (like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms), olives, etc.
- Olive oil (for crisping)
- Dried oregano, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning (optional)
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
-
Prepare the Tortilla:
- Brush a little bit of olive oil on one side of the tortilla. This helps make the crust crispy.
- Place the tortilla in the skillet, oil-side down. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes lightly golden and crispy.
-
Add the Sauce and Toppings:
- Flip the tortilla over (so the oiled side is now facing up).
- Spread a layer of pizza sauce over the top.
- Sprinkle with cheese and add your desired toppings.
-
Cook the Pizza:
- Cover the skillet with a lid to help melt the cheese, and cook for another 2-3 minutes on medium heat, until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is crispy.
- You can also pop it under the broiler for a minute or two for extra crispiness if you want it more like a traditional pizza.
-
Season and Serve:
- Once the cheese is melted, sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
- Slice it like a pizza and enjoy!
Why it Tastes Better Than Pizza:
- Crispy Tortilla: The tortilla crisps up perfectly, giving it that satisfying crunch that some people love more than a thick pizza crust.
- Quick and Customizable: You can make it in minutes, and it’s easy to adjust to your flavor preferences without the time commitment of traditional pizza dough.
This 1-Tortilla Pizza is a fun and quick alternative to regular pizza that’s packed with flavor. Enjoy making it your own!
