Save to Pinterest A quick and crispy pizza made with a tortilla wrap as the base and customizable pantry toppings is perfect for a speedy, satisfying meal.
I first made tortilla pizza when I was short on time but craved something cheesy and crispy. It instantly became my go-to recipe for a fast homemade meal.
