    You can buy flour tortilla in most grocery stores. If you want something even healthier, choose whole-wheat flour tortilla, which has more nutrition and is less fattening. You will save a lot of time and money when making your own tortilla pizza at home than ordering out. If you don’t have an oven, you can even cook the pizza in the skillet!

     

    In this recipe, the pizza is topped with olive oil, cherry tomatoes, capers, chopped onions, and good quality grated cheese, and seasoned with salt and pepper. With a few ingredients, you can make a sumptuous gourmet meal in no time. You can use a blend of cheeses to make the dish even more delicious. Some of the best cheeses to use for making tortilla pizza are those with low moisture and won’t burn easily at high temperatures. These include Mozzarella, Provolone, Asagio, Fontina, Parmesan, Romano, Goat’s cheese, Feta, and Gorgonzola. You don’t have to fill the tortilla with cheese, as it might get too heavy. Sprinkle roughly shaved cheese on the surface and this will melt and spread out for a mouthwatering pizza treat. Since you won’t be using tomato sauce or marinara in this recipe, make sure you use ripe and sweet cherry tomatoes that will burst wonderfully in the palate.
