Save A quick and crispy pizza made with a tortilla wrap as the base and customizable pantry toppings—perfect for a speedy, satisfying meal.
I first made tortilla pizza on a busy evening with just a handful of ingredients from my pantry. It has become my go-to trick for satisfying pizza cravings with minimal effort and cleanup.
