FAQs

Can I make this tortilla pizza without chicken?

Yes, you can omit the chicken entirely or replace it with another protein or extra vegetables.

Can I use whole wheat or corn tortillas instead?

Can I prepare the tortilla ahead of time?

You can bake the tortilla during the first step ahead of time, but assemble and bake with toppings right before serving for best crispness.

Can I cook this pizza in the air fryer?

Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of tomato sauce?

Bake the tortilla slightly longer during the initial crisping step, but watch it closely to avoid burning.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Can I freeze tortilla pizza?
