Easy Vegan Pesto Tortilla Pizza (Gluten Free)

Tortilla Pizza – a quick and easy lunch, dinner, or even appetizer or snack. Super versatile. Make just one or make several. All done in about 20 minutes. 

I promised you there’d be quick and easy recipes this month. So far, I’ve delivered with my Stir Fry Zucchini Noodles and Coconut Curry Soup. If you can believe it, this Tortilla Pizza recipe is even faster than those two! In 20 minutes or less, you can be enjoying a delicious slice (or 4!).

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching. Before kids, hubby and I used to go out for pizza each year. Lately, we’ve been doing more and more homemade pizzas. Easier for me to veganize and everyone gets to choose the toppings of their choice. Win-win. Plus, with these easy, lighter pizzas, you’ll have more room to indulge in all that Valentine’s Day chocolate (like these Cherry Chocolate Walnut Truffles or these Fudgy Mocha Brownie Hearts.)

Choose your Toppings

Much like My Favorite Avocado Toast, this Tortilla Pizza is more of a method than a recipe. You can certainly load it up with your favorite pizza toppings – vegan cheese, marinara sauce, bell peppers, spinach, vegan sausage, artichokes, broccoli, etc. MY favorite way top off these super easy vegan pizzas is with my delicious, lemony Mixed Greens Almond & Pepita Pesto followed by thinly sliced mushrooms, slivers of red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and a chiffonade of basil. It’s a flavor explosion all on a crunchy pizza crust – perfection!

You might remember a similar pairing with my Game Day Vegan Pizza Bites (one of my very favorite party appetizers!). <- Those pizza bites, though, take a little extra time because you have to cut the crust into little rounds and then press them into a mini muffin tin and bake. For weeknight meal purposes, I don’t have time for that! That’s where these Tortilla Pizzas come in.

Thin and Crispy

I might live in the Chicagoland area, where deep dish pizza reigns supreme, but I’m a thin and crispy pizza lover through and through. When I was little, my Dad was the master pizza maker in our house. Truth be told, it was a mix from a box, but he knew just how to stretch it out to make it ultra thin, almost see-through, without breaking it.

I have fond memories of that pizza crust! But, even easier than a boxed mix, is a package of tortillas! It doesn’t get much thinner than that and they bake up super crispy in under 10 minutes. It’s the perfect base for my Vegan Pesto Pizza!
