Homemade Oven Tortilla Pizza: A Quick and Tasty Treat!
Making pizza at home is incredibly satisfying because you can load it with your favorite ingredients and enjoy it piping hot! This oven-baked tortilla pizza is a fantastic recommendation for a delicious snack or a quick meal. It’s wonderfully convenient and allows you to use up ingredients you already have in your fridge. The thin tortilla base, layered for extra crispiness, holds a generous amount of toppings, creating a pizza that’s both visually appealing and incredibly tasty. Perfect for families and anyone craving a homemade pizza experience without the fuss!
Essential Ingredients- 6 Tortillas (use 2 per pizza for a sturdier base, making 3 pizzas total)
- Tomato sauce, generous amount (store-bought spaghetti sauce or salsa sauce works well)
- 300g Mozzarella cheese (don’t be shy with the cheese!)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetable toppings that will add wonderful flavor to your pizza. Take half an onion, wash it, peel off the skin, and then slice it thinly into strips. Slicing it as thinly as possible will ensure a tender texture once cooked.
Step 2
Next, finely chop half a bell pepper into small, uniform pieces. Using bell peppers of various colors (red, yellow, orange) will make your pizza look even more appealing and vibrant.
Step 3
Thinly slice the 2 sausages. For a cleaner taste, you can briefly blanch them in boiling water before slicing to remove excess oil. This step helps make them taste less greasy and more savory. (Alternatively, you can use pepperoni or bacon for a different flavor profile.)
Step 4
And there you have it โ all your toppings are ready for a delicious oven tortilla pizza! (Tip: For an even more elevated taste, consider adding thinly sliced button mushrooms; their earthy flavor is a fantastic addition. Feel free to customize your pizza with any other vegetables, meats, or olives you enjoy!)
Step 5
Now, let’s create the pizza base. Place two tortilla wraps on your baking sheet or oven-safe pan, layering them on top of each other. Using two tortillas provides a sturdier base, especially when loaded with toppings, and gives a wonderfully chewy texture. Repeat this process twice more, so you have three double-layered tortilla bases ready.
Step 6
Spread a generous layer of tomato sauce evenly over each tortilla base. Don’t skimp on the sauce; a good amount will ensure a moist and flavorful pizza. (I used a mix of ‘Chefood Bolognese Spaghetti Sauce’ and ‘Salsa Sauce for Nachos’ I had at home, but any store-bought tomato sauce or pizza sauce will work perfectly.)
Step 7
After spreading the tomato sauce, evenly distribute the thinly sliced onions over the sauce. The onions will caramelize slightly as they cook, adding a natural sweetness to the pizza.
Step 8
Next, artfully arrange the chopped bell peppers on top. Adding plenty of colorful vegetables contributes to both the taste and healthiness of your pizza.
Step 9
Generously add the sliced sausages you prepared earlier. The savory aroma and taste of the cooked sausages will further enrich the overall flavor of the pizza.
Step 10
Finally, the star of any pizza โ mozzarella cheese! Sprinkle a generous amount all over the toppings. Melted mozzarella creates that irresistible cheesy pull and a visually stunning pizza. ๐ง
Step 11
Now it’s time to bake! Carefully place your assembled tortilla pizzas into the preheated oven.
Step 12
Bake in a preheated oven at 190ยฐC (375ยฐF) for about 6 minutes and 30 seconds. Keep an eye on it, as oven temperatures can vary; you’re looking for a golden-brown crust and bubbly, melted cheese. โฑ๏ธ
Step 13
While the first pizza is baking, you can quickly prepare the other two pizzas by adding their toppings. This way, you won’t have to wait long between enjoying each fresh, hot pizza!
Step 14
Look at your pizzas in the oven โ they’re turning beautifully golden brown! You can almost hear the gentle sizzle as the cheese melts and the crust crisps up. ๐
Step 15
The moment of truth! As you take the pizzas out of the oven, an incredibly delicious aroma fills your kitchen. It smells just like a pizzeria! ๐๐จ
Step 16
Pizza is always best enjoyed piping hot, right? Make sure to serve it immediately after taking it out of the oven to savor its perfect texture and warmth.
Step 17
Slice into your masterpiece and take a bite! The contrast between the crispy tortilla edges and the warm, chewy center, combined with the fresh toppings and gooey melted cheese, is absolutely delightful. ๐ We highly recommend making this oven tortilla pizza at home โ itโs perfect as a fun snack or a satisfying meal. Enjoy! ๐
