Extra Crispy Tortilla Pizza – just like your favorite restaurant serves! When I saw this recipe in my friend Kelley’s cookbook, Apres All Day, I immediately bookmarked it to try.

I made it that week. And, the next week. It probably doesn’t surprise anyone to find that I’ve made it countless times since then.

See, I have always loved pizza. Every time I go back to Albuquerque, there’s only one restaurant that I simply must visit–my favorite pizza place.

There is something so wonderfully simple about pizza. It appeals to people of all ages. We might prefer it in different ways, but everyone likes it.

Thick crust, thin crust, pan pizzas, homemade pizzas, frozen pizzas, cheap delivery pizzas, wood-fired gourmet pizzas, there is quite literally no way that I do not enjoy eating pizza!

Tortilla pizzas pretty much blew my mind when I tried them and I LOVE this quick and easy method for doing our family pizza nights now.

How To Make Tortilla Pizza

Here’s the stuff to keep in mind while following the steps on how to make a tortilla pizza:

First, read the full recipe before you get started. Using the broiler makes it very fast, but you can easily burn the pizza if you get distracted.

Second, you’re going to want more than one. Seriously, this meal is dangerously delicious. Buy enough ingredients to make extras.

Tortilla Pizza Recipe

1. Set the oven to broil. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium high heat. Add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, spread the oil around the skillet with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
2. Place the tortilla in the center of the skillet. Top the tortilla with the marinara sauce and spread the sauce to the edges of the tortilla. Sprinkle evenly with the mozzarella cheese.
3. Cook for about 2 minutes, just until the underside of the tortilla is brown and crispy. Take care, because it can burn quickly!
4. Place the skillet under the broiler. Cook for 60-90 seconds, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tortilla starts to brown at the edges.
5. Remove from the oven and transfer the pizza to a cutting board. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before cutting into eighths. Serve immediately.
