How to Make Pizza Wrap?
A tortilla pizza simply involves you switching out a regular pizza base with a tortilla wrap. Top a tortilla wrap with sauce, cheese and toppings and bake until golden and bubbly. You can make your own tortillas at home as well as the sauce of your choice. But if you’re in a hurry, it’s okay to buy already made tortillas & pizza sauce.
Pizza Wrap Step by Step
Place your tortilla on a pizza tray. If you don’t have a pizza tray you can use a baking sheet or a large skillet pan. You want to prepare your pizza on the tray because this eliminates you having to transfer the pizza once topped (the thin tortilla base makes this difficult to do.
Spread pizza sauce or sauce of choice evenly across the pizza, leaving 1cm at the edge.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Add Toppings.
Bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the base is crisp (around 10 mins).
Pizza Wrap Topping Ideas
Toppings are great, but tortilla pizzas are very thin and so can’t hold an abundance. Too many toppings can result in an unevenly cooked pizza, with an overcooked or burnt crust and undercooked toppings. These are some ideas for your pizza wrap toppings, however, feel completely free to invent and create your own toppings.
Tomatoes (sliced),
Roasted vegetables (peppers/capsicum, asparagus, onion, snow peas, sweet potato),
Olives (sliced),
Mushrooms (sliced & sauteed),
Spinach (wilted),
Zucchini (ribboned),
Pineapple (small chunks),
Cooked meat (shredded chicken etc).
