    Easy Vegan Pesto Tortilla Pizza - quick and easy, super versatile, kid friendly, appetizer, lunch, snack, entree, vegan, gluten free, dairy free

    A quick and easy lunch, dinner, or even appetizer or snack. Super versatile. Make just one or make several. This vegan tortilla pizza is done in about 20 minutes. 

    Two tortilla pizzas with pesto, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and red onion next to a small glass jar of pesto.

    This vegan Tortilla Pizza recipe is so quick and easy. In 20 minutes or less, you can be enjoying a delicious slice (or 4!). Easy to customize, too!

    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 Pumpkin Seed 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!

      I used to make pizza out of corn tortillas all the time, but I forgot about it until I saw your post! I definitely need to make some again!

        We did French bread pizzas all the time when I was growing up. Also an awesome way to get that pizza goodness into your mouth! 🙂 Thanks, Any!

        HaHa! Yes, there is a fine line between loading it up for flavor and loading it up too much that it breaks when you pick it up. LOL!! Either way – delicious!
