Ingredient Notes and Substitutes

  • Tortilla: Use your favourite flour tortilla, corn tortilla or gluten-free tortilla or wrap will all be fine. You just need a thin flat bread of any description.

Top Tips

Here is how you can make these Tortilla Pizzas perfectly every time!

  • One of my favourite hacks when I make pizza for my kids is to make my own hidden veggie pizza sauce, so no matter what they add as topping they are still getting a few extra veggies in their day.
  • Tortillas come in different sizes the smaller ones make the perfect mini pizzas for kids.
  • Tortilla pizzas cook fast! So keep an eye on them while they cook. I like to set a timer in case I get distracted.
  • My kids love having pizzas in their lunchbox, it's a nice alternative to sandwiches and if I use a gluten-free tortilla it is perfect for my son who has coeliac disease.
