Skillet Tortilla Pizza

Skillet Tortilla Pizza

When I was a kid, Home Ec was a required course in junior high, and we all had to learn how to make English muffin pizzas in a toaster oven. Did you make English muffin pizzas? Or bagel pizzas? This is the same thing, but made with a flour tortilla, or "wrap" as they are called in some parts. Easy peasy. A cast iron skillet works best for the stove top, as it has a more even distribution of heat and holds the heat well. Once the tortilla is bubbly, sprinkle on the cheese first, and then spread with sauce. This way the thin tortilla bottom is more likely to stay crisp. In this recipe we are using the most basic of ingredients—shredded mozzarella, tomato sauce, basil. But you could easily use other favorite pizza toppings, such as caramelized onions or basil pesto. Just use a light touch. The tortilla is thin and can be easily weighted down.
