Chef's Note

Pre-baking the tortillas for just a few minutes before adding the sauce is the ultimate secret to preventing a soggy crust. It creates a sturdy, cracker-like base that holds up beautifully to the toppings!

Ingredients
  • 4 pieces flour tortillas

  • 1/2 cup canned pizza sauce

  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese block

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 medium carrots

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • 2

    Grate 4 ounces of mozzarella cheese block using the large holes of a box grater and set aside in a small bowl.

  • 3

    Wash and peel 2 medium carrots. Slice them lengthwise into thin sticks (batonnets) to serve as a side dish, and set aside.

  • 4

    Place 4 flour tortillas flat on the prepared baking sheets. Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.

  • 5

    Bake the bare tortillas in the preheated oven for 3 minutes until they begin to stiffen slightly but are not yet browned. Remove the baking sheets from the oven.

  • 6

    Spread 2 tablespoons of canned pizza sauce evenly over the top of each pre-baked tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

  • 7

    Evenly distribute the grated mozzarella cheese over the sauce on all 4 tortillas.

  • 8

    Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon of dried oregano and a pinch of garlic powder over each tortilla. Season with a tiny pinch of salt and black pepper if desired.

  • 9

    Return the baking sheets to the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly golden-brown in spots, and the tortilla edges are crispy.

  • 10

    Allow the pizzas to cool for 2 minutes to let the cheese set. Slice each tortilla pizza into quarters and serve warm alongside the prepared carrot sticks.
