- For the Pizza:
- 4 flour tortillas large size
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup fresh tomatoes sliced
- 2 tablespoons tomato sauce optional
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
Step 1: Prepare the Tortilla Base
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with olive oil.
Place the tortillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2: Assemble the Pizza
Evenly spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on each tortilla (optional).
Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Arrange tomato slices on top of the cheese, making sure they're evenly spaced.
Sprinkle with dried oregano, and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 3: Bake the Pizza
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortilla are crispy.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Remove the pizzas from the oven and top with fresh basil.
Slice and serve hot!
- Add some extra flavor: Drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the pizza after baking for a tangy touch.
- Make it your own: Feel free to add your favorite toppings like olives, bell peppers, or mushrooms!
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier version.
