If you know me well you'll know that I love pizza, and when I say I love pizza, I LOOVVEEE it. (Capital letters absolutely necessary). I get very excited over a good pizza. It's everything I crave - the Mediterranean flavours of the garlic and tomatoes, the fresh greenery of the basil leaves, the stringy-oozy cheese...oomph, it's so good. However, I haven't got a pizza stove oven, and I also (more importantly) don't have time to make the dough, shape the dough, pre-bake, then finish with the toppings, cook and slice and then eat during the week. I'm just like you, I need something fast, straightforward to make and that's going to taste just as delicious. That's why I really like making these homemade tortilla pizzas. Everything can be ready in under 20 minutes, you get all the same flavours but the pizzas are also just a bit lighter to digest (another bonus!). I probably make these about twice a fortnight!
I really can't stress how good these are to make, and they are so versatile. You could choose any toppings you like and cook the pizzas exactly the same way. (Keep an eye out for future recipes; I'm talking olives, goats cheese, eggs, barbecue veggie chicken...you name it, it's coming!!) I love to make these pizzas when I've got friends round, as it turns into a slightly creative competition, and it's just fun to see what everyone does. If you don't want to use real cheese, you can use plant-based alternatives too, and you can switch up the style of the tortillas to suit your personal preferences. For example, we love to use wholemeal tortillas in the Christie household, but you may prefer something different. It's all about just trying different things and seeing what you like, and more importantly, having fun!!!
High in protein, extremely tasty and so quick and easy to make, these tortilla pizzas are so perfect for mid-week dinners, when you've got less than half an hour. Everything you'd want from a 'normal' pizza, but lighter and more satisfying!
