Ingredients:
Tortilla Shells
Any shells will work, but to keep it Gluten Free, Siete Almond four tortillas are my favorite. These shells have great, clean ingredients and also work for my daughter that cannot have rice or gluten.
Pizza Sauce
Part of making this a quick and easy meal is having a pre-made, ready to use pizza sauce. Whole Foods has a great option that is organic, contains clean ingredients and isn’t too pricey.
Pepperoni
I recently stumbled upon Garrett Valley pepperoni at our local co-op store and it is a game changer when it comes to flavor.
Cheese
For cheese I use whatever I have on-hand, mostly I will do a mix of Cheddar and Mozzarella.
FAQ
Can I use another type of tortilla?
Yes! You can substitute any type of tortilla based on your preferences. I have made these with regular flour tortillas along with gluten free.
How do I prevent the tortilla from getting too soggy?
Since it is not a thick pizza crust it won’t be “crispy” like a traditional thin crust pizza since it is just being warmed under the broiler. To keep it from getting too soggy be sure to not use too much pizza sauce, a thin layer is all you need.
Do I need to preheat the oven?
No need to preheat the oven! The beauty of this recipe is that all you need to do is pop it under the broiler for a few minutes and it is ready to serve!
