# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F and place a baking sheet inside to heat.
02 - Place tortillas on parchment paper and lightly brush both sides with olive oil.
03 - Spread tomato sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
04 - Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce on each tortilla.
05 - Distribute sliced olives, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and spinach evenly over each tortilla.
06 - Sprinkle dried oregano and, if desired, red pepper flakes on top of the assembled tortillas.
07 - Carefully transfer the tortillas on parchment paper to the preheated baking sheet.
08 - Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are golden and crisp and the cheese has melted.
09 - Remove from oven, allow to cool for one minute, garnish with fresh basil if desired, then slice and serve.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It delivers authentic pizza satisfaction in the time it takes to order delivery, minus the wait and the cost.
  • The tortilla edges become impossibly crispy while the cheese gets perfectly melty and bubbly in the center.
  • You can customize toppings in seconds without any fussy dough handling or rising times.
02 -
  • The baking sheet must be preheated or your tortilla will steam instead of crisp, and that single detail determines whether you get pizza or flatbread.
  • Less sauce is more here, because moisture makes tortillas soft instead of crispy, so restrain yourself even if your instinct says to pile it on.
  • Watch the oven after seven minutes because ovens vary wildly and burnt edges happen faster than you'd expect once things start bubbling.
03 -
  • If you want maximum crispiness, bake directly on the oven rack instead of a sheet, but watch closely because this approach crisps faster and leaves less room for error.
  • Make your pizzas assembly-line style if feeding multiple people, keeping them all ready to go before transferring any to the oven so they finish at the same time.
