GREAT Thin Crust Pizza!!


If you read my last post with my love for the "Tortilla Land" uncooked flour tortillas from COSTCO, you will know that...yes...we're obsessed...and yes...we like to make PIZZA with them! YUMMM. So, I thought I'd spread the obsession to you all with Jordan's own creation... "recipe..." or rather, "formula" for making GREAT personal tortilla pizzas.

This is what you do:

1. Preheat your oven to 450

2. Place 1 uncooked tortilla on the rack for 1 min, 30 seconds. (of course oven times will vary…mine tends to be fast) It will have puffed up into a giant balloon (maybe you can prick it with a fork first so this doesn’t happen, but don’t prick all the way through, bc the pizza sauce will leak through)

3. Take the puffed up tortilla out of the oven (don't worry, just prick it lightly with a fork and it will deflate!)

4. Then, flip it over so that the crispy side is up. That is the side you’ll put the sauce, cheese, and toppings on.

5. Once you’ve “dressed” the pizza, you put it in the oven again at the same temperature for about 7-12 minutes. Be careful to not over-cheese it. This is a very thin-crust pizza and is delicate. Always put it directly on the rack.

Jordan has perfected this recipe through trial and error, so shortcuts won’t work! Enjoy!
