I have never tried this. Do I heat/toast the tortilla first? Do I just load up the toppings and pop it in the oven? Is it going to be soggy? Should I put toppings inside and flip it in a skillet like a quesadilla?

Load up your toppings and pop it in the oven.


The bowling alley in the LSU Union circa the late 90's served their pizza like this. Big arse burrito tortilla, toppings and then like 3 minutes in a 500° oven.

We do ours just like any other home cooked pizza. Sauce (not too much), toppings, cheese and on a flat sheet into the oven at 500. To keep it soft, add more sauce. To get it crispy, use less sauce and ingredients, which tend to keep the tortilla softer. Doesn't take long to cook, so watch carefully until you get the hang of your oven. Maybe 4-5 minutes. Maybe less. Never tried it under a broiler, so no opinion there.

I use smallish tortillas and a big sheet and cook sauce, pepperoni, and cheese ones for the grandkids, doing 4-6 at a time. They can eat them faster than I can cook them.

The Stonefire Naan bread packs make for great pizzas in a pinch.

We let the kids make their own pizzas on the naan, they are great

Tortillas are always a mess

Tortilla topped with sauce (less is more), topped with cheese topped with toppings. Bake till cheese is bubbly and tortilla is crisp. I use the air fryer.

Assuming you are using the low carb tortillas.

I pre-heat the over to 350. Use a non-stick sheet pan or aluminum foil with pam. Ingredients and sauce on the tortilla and then cook it until the cheese melts and browns. I dont time and it its pretty easy to use the smell/eye test.

Its pretty dummy proof.

So the advice of sauce (less is more), toppings, and let it roll until everything is melts is good.

If you’re doing it in a skillet use a lid to help melt the cheese before you start burning the tortilla.

As to the quesadilla format, that also works really well. Follow the same process as a classic Tex-Mex quesadilla and just replace filler with traditional pizza toppings and it will be killer.

I'm doing keto and I actually just ate a couple of these using low-carb tortillas. I add a spoonful of sauce, swirl it around, top it with a slice of whole-milk mozzarella and a layer of pepperoni. Pop it under the broiler for 3 min.
