INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Make sure you have a baking sheet or pizza stone ready.
STEP 2: Prepare Tortilla Crust: Place the tortillas on the baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush each tortilla lightly with olive oil. This will help make them crispy.
STEP 3: Spread Pizza Sauce: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each tortilla. Use the back of the spoon to spread it evenly, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust.
STEP 4: Add Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza sauce on each tortilla. Leave a small border around the edge as well.
STEP 5: Layer the Toppings: Arrange the sliced cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and fresh mozzarella slices on top of the cheese. Distribute them evenly among the tortillas.
STEP 6: Season: Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano, a dash of red pepper flakes (if you like some heat), and a bit of salt and black pepper over the toppings. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.
STEP 7: Bake: Place the baking sheet or pizza stone in the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the tortilla edges are crispy, and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
STEP 8: Serve: Remove the pizza tortillas from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. Slice each tortilla into quarters or eighths, like you would a traditional pizza.
Enjoy: Serve your pizza tortilla slices immediately while they're hot and gooey. They make a fantastic a quick and easy meal!
