Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 pizzas
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 cups arugula
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and place a large baking sheet inside to heat up while preparing the pizzas.
- Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Using a pastry brush or spoon, lightly spread a thin layer of olive oil on one side of each tortilla to help create a crispy base.
- Spread approximately 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly across each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the marinara sauce, covering the entire surface of each tortilla.
- Crumble feta cheese evenly over the mozzarella, distributing it to ensure a balanced flavor in each bite.
- Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and transfer the prepared tortillas onto it, ensuring they are flat and not overlapping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is completely melted and slightly bubbly.
- While the pizzas are baking, prepare the arugula salad by tossing the arugula with remaining olive oil, and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the tortilla pizzas from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Top each pizza with a generous handful of dressed arugula salad just before serving.
- Slice each tortilla pizza into quarters and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- • Ensure your baking sheet is preheated to guarantee a super crispy tortilla base • Use high-quality marinara sauce for the best flavor profile • Don't overload the tortilla with sauce or cheese to prevent soggy results • For extra crispiness, you can briefly toast the tortillas in a dry skillet before adding toppings • Choose fresh, peppery arugula for the salad to complement the rich cheeses • Let the pizzas rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set • Experiment with additional toppings like fresh basil, red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze
