Crispy Tortilla Skillet Pizza

Crispy Tortilla Skillet Pizza

A quick and easy tortilla pizza cooked until crispy in a cast iron skillet!

Pizza is one of my favourite foods and this crispy tortilla skillet pizza has to be one of the quickest and easiest ways of enjoying pizza! Normally to make pizza you start off by making a pizza dough which you need to make, knead, let rise and then bake, all of which takes time so using an already made tortilla is quicker and easier! Using the tortilla for the crust gives you a really nice and thin crust and the only thing that you really need to worry about is getting that tortilla crispy, so that you can pick up the slices of pizza. I have experimented a lot with trying to get the tortilla crispy and the best way that I have found is to start off by heating a cast iron skillet until it is very hot and placing the tortilla into the skillet just before topping with the sauce and cheese and placing under a broiler to melt the cheese. Starting out with a hot cast iron skillet ensures that the tortilla gets crispy, without burning, while the cheese melts on top under the broiler! Of course you can top these crispy tortilla skillet pizzas with your favourite pizza toppings!

    We eat something similar at restaurants in Arizona. Usually with cheese and green chilis though chorizo is quite popular on them too. They’ll put them on top of flames to keep them warm. Cheese crisps. 🙂 I still make them at home a lot. Though I’m developing a fondness for making rice paper pizzas this way too.

    I don’t have a cast iron skillet either 🙁 Can any oven-safe skillet be used Kevin?

      You can use other kinds of oven safe pans, check the temperatures that the pan is safe to in the oven. Enjoy!
