I have always preferred thin-crusted pizzas (like Spizza’s) to classic hand-tossed thicker ones as the crunch of the crispy crust gives the pizza an inviting texture without filling me up so I can enjoy more varieties of different flavours.
At home, the husband and I eat tortilla wraps regularly so they will always be in my pantry. This time round, I decided to turn them around into something different for a change, well, partly because I was just too lazy to make my own pizza dough and I didn’t want to use a frozen one from the supermarket, lol. Good thing is, these wraps make instant fixes that save me a lot of time and hassle and they taste really good as pizza bases too!

Tortilla Pizza Recipe
Ingredients (makes 6-8 pizzas)
6-8 wholemeal tortilla wraps
250g cheddar cheese, shredded
200g button mushrooms, sliced
250g pepperoni salami, sliced
200g minced beef
1 large onion, finely diced
olive oil
salt & freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180 deg C with fan.
2. Heat a little olive oil in pan and saute the onions till tender. Add in the minced beef and cook till meat is no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add the button mushrooms and saute till tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.
4. Spread the pizza sauce over each tortilla wrap. Arrange the minced beef mixture and mushrooms or pepperoni slices over each wrap and top with cheddar cheese.
5. Transfer the pizza onto a non-stick pizza crisper pan and bake for 10 minutes till cheese has melted and crust is crispy. Repeat with the rest of the wraps.
And this was the minced beef version whose taste reminded me of beef nachos, lol. Delightfully delish! Crunchy, crispy and cheesy – all my 3 essential Cs of a good pizza. Yum. Want a slice?
