What makes tortilla pizza so good
- Light and fulfilling: This tortilla pizza is light enough to be a snack, and can be enjoyed alone as a main meal!
- Quick and easy: This recipe is easy and quick to make, where the meal will be ready in no time!

Ingredients for tortilla pizza
- Flour tortilla: This recipe uses one piece of 10-inch flour tortilla.
- Pizza sauce: Use your own favourite pizza sauce. I used tomato sauce to add a refreshing, sweet and tangy flavour.
- Toppings: Add in any toppings you’d prefer! For this recipe, I used bell peppers, sausages, and eggs to make the pizza more nutritious and flavourful. The eggs also allow you to flip over the tortilla more easily!
- Salt: For seasoning the toppings.
- Oil: For cooking the toppings.
- Mozzarella cheese: It helps to bind all the ingredients together as it melts, and the ooey-gooeyness makes this dish even more irresistible!
How to make tortilla pizza
- In a pan, heat some oil over medium-high heat and cook the sausages for 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
- Transfer the diced bell peppers to the pan and season with salt. Stir-fry until soft and fragrant (about 2 minutes).
- Add in beaten eggs and bring the mixture to the centre. When the eggs are slightly cooked, add in 2 slices of mozzarella cheese and sprinkle a handful of shredded cheese on top.
- Place a piece of flour tortilla on top and use the spatula to gently press down to let the eggs and cheese stick to the tortilla.
- Flip the tortilla over, spread tomato sauce evenly across, and place the cooked sausages on top.
- Sprinkle more shredded cheese over the tortilla. Cover with a lid, lower the heat, and cook until the cheese melts.
Popular substitutions & additions
- Add more veggies: You can use more veggies like mushrooms, onions, and olives to make the tortilla more nutritious.
- Switch up the flour tortilla: Flour tortilla has a taste that most resonates with a pizza dough, but you can opt in for a corn tortilla or whole wheat tortilla for an even healthier tortilla pizza!
- Add spices and herbs: Adding in spices and herbs like hot pepper flakes, oregano, or parsley will flavour the pizza even more.
How to store and reheat leftover tortilla pizza?
To store leftover tortilla pizza, ensure it is cooled down at room temperature, and store it in an airtight container or a zip bag. To reheat, simply place it in an oven or an air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 180ºC or pan-fry it in a pan to retain its crispiness.
How long will tortilla pizza last?
The tortilla pizza will last for 3-5 days in the refrigerator.
