Quick and easy to make and delicious to eat, a tortilla pizza is a great low carb alternative to your usual Friday night treat. Choose from 4 vegetarian toppings and enjoy them for lunch, dinner or serve as a tasty appetizer.
Ingredients
The beauty of tortilla pizzas is that you can easily mix up the toppings to suite your tastes, or use up what ever is in the fridge! At a minimum, you will need:
- Tortillas: Use 10 inch flour tortillas. You can use whole wheat or regular.
- Sauce: Use your favorite store bought pizza sauce to spread on the tortillas. You can also use marinara sauce if you prefer.
I’ve given four different options for toppings below for you to choose from, or have fun making your own creations!

Tips for making tortilla pizza
- Cook the tortilla pizzas directly on the oven rack for convenience. This makes them super crispy and reduces the need for any cooling racks or baking sheet. However, I still recommend the cooling rack and baking sheet combo for clean-up purposes to minimize cheese drippings into the oven.
- Use the toaster oven instead of your oven. You can place the tortilla on the rack of your toaster oven. You can use the same temperature of 425F, but the time will be 2-3 minutes shorter.
- Buy large flour tortillas for this recipe. You can use a gluten-free variety like cassava tortillas, whole wheat or a keto friendly tortilla, but large works best.
- Cut and slice the toppings into similar sized pieces. This will allow them to cook evenly. If you’re using pre-cooked items like caramelized onions or leftover chicken, you don’t have to worry about the sizes.
- Get an extra crispy tortilla crust by cooking the pizzas in a skillet. Heat a little oil in the skillet, once hot, wipe the excess oil out with kitchen paper and place in a tortilla. Add the toppings and then cook in the pre heated oven as directed.
Frequently asked questions
The best part about making your own pizzas is that you get to choose whatever toppings you want! These are my go to’s but they are a great way to use up any veggies you have hiding in your fridge. You can also add meats like cooked shredded chicken or cooked ground beef or turkey.
Yes, you can omit the cheese or use a good melting vegan variety.
These pizzas are best enjoyed as soon as they are made, but if you have leftovers you can reheat them in an oven at 350f for 5 minutes.
Not only are these tortilla pizzas lower in carbs, but they are super quick to make too! So easy to make them up to suit everyone’s taste and even your picky eaters will love them!
