Simple Extra-Crispy Tortilla Pizza Recipes

Extra-Crispy Tortilla Pizza

makes 1 small thin pizza

• 1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 (eight-inch) flour torilla
• 1-2 tablespoons pizza sauce
• Small handful of shredded mozzarella cheese
• Fresh oregano or basil leaves

Preheat the broiler to high.

Add the olive oil to a cast iron pan with an 8" diameter and heat over high heat.  Once it shimmers, reduce the heat to medium and use a folded paper towel to coat the bottom of the pan with the oil. Wipe the excess oil onto the rough side of the flour tortilla.  Place the tortilla rough side down in the pan.

Spoon on the pizza sauce and spread all over, right up to the edge of the tortilla.  Sprinkle on the cheese and top with a few oregano or basil leaves.

Move the pan to the broiler and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, just a few minutes.  Use a spatula to check if the bottom is crispy enough to your liking.  If not, return to the stovetop and continue to cook until crispy enough.

Transfer to a wooden cutting board, slice, and serve!
