I love preparing quick and delicious meals, and my absolute favorite is the wonderful tortilla pizza. Below are my 14 favorite recipes for the tortilla pizza.
They include stalwarts of the pizza tradition, like Margherita and Pepperoni, and some daring, almost avant-garde options, like Pesto Chicken and Breakfast Tortilla Pizza. (Yes, you can make breakfast pizza!) Each of these recipes has something exceptional about it.
The 14 Best tortilla pizza recipes
1. Margherita Tortilla Pizza
A large flour tortilla is used to create a Margherita Tortilla Pizza. The pizza is topped with tomato sauce, a combination of shredded and sliced mild mozzarella, and fresh basil.
Olive oil is drizzled on top, and the pizza is ready for the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 2 tablespoons tomato sauce or passata

2. BBQ Chicken Tortilla Pizza
Tortilla Pizza with BBQ Chicken is a super simple, scrumptious dish that my whole family loves. In fact, it’s so quick and easy that my son has taken to making it himself for dinner.
The “recipe” relies heavily on store-bought ingredients, but there’s nothing wrong with that, especially when you can dress them up as the flavor-packed, assembly-required meal that this is.
Ingredients
BBQ sauce
Shredded cooked chicken
Large flour tortilla
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Sliced red onion
Chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
1. Your oven should be preheated to 400°F (200°C).
2. Put the flour tortilla on a baking sheet. Apply a hearty amount of BBQ sauce evenly over the surface of the tortilla.
3. Place cooked shredded chicken, sliced red onion, and mozzarella cheese on top of the tortilla.

4. Veggie Lovers' Tortilla Pizza
A speedy, delectable dish that Veggie Lovers’ Tortilla Pizza is. This meal centers around whole wheat tortillas, a good source of fiber, which are used as the crust.
Tomato sauce serves as the “pizza sauce.” Instead of a pile of pepperoni and sausage, there are sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, and red onions; a handful of chopped spinach provides the green. And none of that would work as well as it does without the shredded mozzarella that finishes the deal.
Ingredients
Whole wheat tortillas
Tomato sauce
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Sliced bell peppers
Sliced mushrooms
Chopped spinach
Sliced red onions
Instructions
1. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to warm up before you put anything inside it.
2. Put a baking sheet in front of you, and place a whole wheat tortilla on top of it. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the tortilla.
3. Evenly sprinkle the sauce with shredded mozzarella cheese.
4. Layer sliced red onions, mushrooms, spinach, and bell peppers on top of the cheese.
5. In the oven that has been preheated, bake for 8-10 minutes, or until you observe that the cheese has melted and is now bubbling.
6. Take the pizza out of the oven, allow it to cool a little, and then cut it into pieces to serve. Enjoy your Tortilla Pizza with a generous helping of the Veggie Lovers’ topping!
5. Buffalo Chicken Tortilla Pizza
Buffalo Chicken Tortilla Pizza is a quick dish with a tangy flavor, constructed of a large flour tortilla and topped with shredded chicken that has been mixed in buffalo sauce, along with a generous amount of both mozzarella and blue cheese.

Ingredients
Instructions
1. Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Put the tortilla on a baking sheet.
2. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken and the buffalo sauce; stir until the chicken is fully coated. Spread the sauce-covered chicken evenly across the surface of the tortilla.
3. Scattered over the chicken, the mozzarella cheese now reigns supreme. Little crumbly bits of blue cheese are next, adding both rocky texture and awesome flavor to the chicken.
4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and top with sliced green onions. Drizzle with ranch dressing if desired and serve.
