FAQs

Can I use gluten-free tortillas?
Yes, gluten-free tortillas crisp up nicely. However, research shows that gluten-free products may contain more sugar and less protein, so balance your meal accordingly.

Can I use non-dairy cheese?
Absolutely! Many plant-based cheeses are available and melt well on tortilla pizzas.

Can I microwave leftovers?
While you can, microwaving may reduce crispness due to changes in moisture and texture. A toaster oven is better for reheating.

Can I use other sauces?
Yes! Pesto, buffalo sauce, Alfredo, or salsa work well.

Best tortillas to use?
Thin, flour or whole wheat tortillas are ideal for a cracker-like crunch.
