Save A quick and crispy pizza made with a tortilla wrap as the base and customizable pantry toppings—perfect for a speedy, satisfying meal.
I first tried tortilla pizza on a busy weeknight when I needed a fast dinner. It blew me away how crunchy and flavorful it was with just the basics from my pantry.
Ingredients
- Base: 2 large flour tortillas (8–10 inch)
- Sauce: 1/2 cup (120 ml) tomato passata or canned tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
- Cheese: 3/4 cup (75 g) shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup (25 g) grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- Pantry Toppings: 1/4 cup (35 g) canned sliced black olives drained, 1/4 cup (30 g) jarred roasted red peppers sliced, 1/4 cup (30 g) artichoke hearts drained and chopped, 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes chopped, 1/4 cup (35 g) canned corn drained, 1/4 cup (35 g) canned mushrooms drained and sliced
Instructions
- Preheat:
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) or set a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Prepare Base:
- Place each tortilla on a baking sheet or oven-safe skillet.
- Make Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the tomato passata with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Assemble:
- Spread a thin layer of sauce over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce. Top with your choice of pantry toppings.
- Bake or Cook:
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp and the cheese is melted. Alternatively, cook in a skillet for 3–4 minutes per side, covered, until cheese is melted and base is crisp.
- Serve:
- Remove from oven, let cool for 1 minute, then slice and serve immediately.
Save My kids love building their own pizzas with different toppings, and it's become a go-to on movie nights at our house.
Non-Vegetarian Variation
Add drained canned tuna, cooked sausage, or pepperoni to make this pizza meat-lover friendly.
Swap the Sauce
Use pesto instead of tomato sauce for herby flavor, or try a base of hummus for a Mediterranean twist.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a green salad or sprinkle chili flakes for heat. This light dish also matches well with Italian red wine for adults.

Recipe Guide
- → Can I use a skillet instead of the oven?
Yes, cooking each side of the topped tortilla in a covered skillet for 3-4 minutes melts the cheese and crisps the base effectively.
- → What are good pantry toppings choices?
Options include canned black olives, jarred roasted red peppers, artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, canned corn, and mushrooms for varied flavors.
- → How can I make the base crispier?
Brushing the tortilla lightly with olive oil before adding toppings helps achieve an extra crispy crust.
- → Are there adaptations for non-vegetarian preferences?
Adding drained canned tuna, cooked sausage, or pepperoni introduces a meatier profile while retaining quick preparation.
- → What pairs well as a side or drink?
A fresh green salad complements the dish well, and a light Italian red wine enhances the overall experience.
