Skillet Tortilla Pizza is a 15 minute, personal, tortilla pizza made in a skillet. My favorite combo is pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni. The modest serving delivers big flavor without all the calories of a big pizza.
Skillet Tortilla Pizza
I’ve been jamming on tortilla pizza since my college days.
It’s amazing what you can do with a stack of tortillas, a jar of sauce, a pouch of pepperoni, and a bag of mozzarella!
As a recipe writer, I always get asked for quick, weeknight dinner ideas that are family-friendly and affordable.
Tortilla pizza happens to be one of my favorite suggestions!
What I love about tortilla pizza
- all the flavor without the calories of a conventional sized pizza
- no-fail…unless you burn it…so don’t burn it 😉
- pizza takeout is expensive…tortilla pizza is not
- you control the ingredients
- ready in under 15 minutes
- gets your kids in the kitchen
What tortillas can I use for tortilla pizza?
You can use any tortillas you want!
I’ve used white flour tortillas, whole wheat tortillas, and gluten free tortillas.
How do you cook tortilla pizza?
I use a combination of stove and broiler for my tortilla pizza. Here’s how I do it:
1. Turn oven broiler to high (toaster oven works great too!)
2. Heat oil in skillet on med-high
3. Brown the tortilla on both sides
4. Add sauce, cheese, and other toppings to one side
5. Place the pizza under broiler to brown (be careful to not burn!)
6. Carefully remove, cut into slices, and devour!
