Recipe for pizza Tortillas:

Ingredients:

Flour tortillas

BBQ sauce or tomato sauce

Salt

Pepper

Garlic powder

Italian seasoning

Dash of cayenne pepper

Mozzarella cheese

Pineapples

Pepperonis

Jalapeños

Or whatever you’d like on it

Directions:

Cook pepperonis in a frying pan first if you like them crispy for about 1 minute or till you want them. Take them out and rest them on a paper towel-lined plate. Open tomato sauce, pour it into a bowl and mix spices in. Put about two or 3 tablespoons of sauce on each tortilla. Top with Mozzarella cheese, pineapples, jalapeños, pepperonis, or whatever toppings you like. I put pizzas in the microwave for about 35 seconds to preheat so the cheese and sauce will cook better and the tortilla doesn’t burn when in the frying pan. If your frying pan is big enough, you can cook two at a time. Place them in the same pan where you cooked the pepperonis. Cook on medium heat for about 4 minutes or until brown on the bottom of the pizza.
