Instructions
- Preheat your oven to375 degrees F(190°C). While the oven is heating up, prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it or using parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Place your flour tortilla on the baking sheet. Using a spoon, spread a thin layer ofmayonnaiseover the top. This acts as a creamy base, giving the tortilla a golden crust.
- SprinkleItalian seasoningevenly over the mayonnaise layer. This seasoning mix of oregano, basil, and thyme adds a hint of authentic Italian flavor to your base.
- Arrange thesliced tomatoeson top of the tortilla. Make sure the slices cover the tortilla evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Sprinkle a generous amount ofshredded mozzarella cheeseover the tomatoes. Follow up by addinggrated Parmesanfor an extra layer of cheesy goodness.
- Drizzle a small amount ofolive oilover the top to enhance the flavors and help the cheese melt evenly.
- Bake the pizza in your preheated oven for15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortilla edges are crispy and slightly browned.
- Once baked, take the pizza out and sprinkle freshly choppedbasil leaves, a little moregrated Parmesan, and somecracked black pepperon top. Cut into slices and serve hot.
Notes
Use a pizza stone:For an even crispier base, place your tortilla on a hot pizza stone before baking.
Go light on the mayo:A little goes a long way, as too much mayo can make the base soggy.
Add toppings carefully:Overloading with too many toppings can make the tortilla limp and reduce its crispiness.
