Look at that gluten-free Tortilla Pizza … doesn’t it look fantastic? Yes, that’s what I did with almost all of the complimentary gluten-free tortillas that Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bakery sent me. (Disclosure: Although the tortillas were provided for review free of charge. However, the opinions expressed here are strictly my own.) Son and I really loved these “thin-crust” pizzas. 

Our favorite flavors for pizza (and using as wraps or quesadillas) were the plain and fiesta flavor but we also ate all the spinach ones, too. The pizzas made with spinach tortillas had almost a “whole wheat” flavor to them.

Note: I have not seen Rudi’s gluten-free tortillas in stores for many years now and they only show the original plain flavor on their website now. Any good quality gluten-free flour-based tortilla will work for today’s recipe. Even stellar homemade ones—in fact, I have a whole collection of incredible gluten-free tortilla and wrap recipes for you from your favorite gluten-free resources!

 

This gluten-free Tortilla Pizza hardly requires a recipe. The concept was just an idea that came to me when Son was craving pizza and looking to dear old mom to help him out. Here are the super simple instructions for this ultimate thin-crust pizza.

As I mentioned earlier, I first made this pizza with Rudi’s gluten-free tortillas but as they’ve disappeared from our local stores, I’ve used other gluten-free flour tortillas since. Note that making these pizzas with corn tortillas will not work. They’re just not substantial enough and won’t provide the crisp crust that’s needed to support the toppings. 

I used Toufayan Gluten-Free Wraps to make the tortilla pizza shown below. By the way, that ancient pizza pan is one that I bought for $1 back in my college days. I equipped my whole kitchen with $1 items. Haha.

Anyway, I’m never giving this pizza pan up! And yes, if you’re wondering, I do have a nice shiny stainless steel pizza pan but this one is still my go-to round pizza pan. Have anything like that in your kitchen that is not pretty but you won’t give up? Tell us about it!

Gluten-Free Tortilla Pizza

There really is an easy and super quick way to make delicious pizza. This Easy Gluten-Free Tortilla Pizza recipe is it. It's the ultimate thin-crust pizza!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 9 minutes
Total Time 14 minutes

Ingredients

  • Gluten-free flour tortillas (your favorite flavor)
  • Pizza sauce (about 1 to 2 tbsp; see notes)
  • Shredded cheese of choice (or cheese alternative like Violife shreds)
  • Favorite toppings (thinly sliced and lightweight ones preferred; precooking may be recommended for some items like pepperoni and mushrooms)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. If your gluten-free flour tortillas are very thin (as some brands are), place one tortilla on top of another for a doubled effect on an ungreased baking sheet. Otherwise, a single gluten-free flour tortilla can work. Use your best judgment.
  3. Mix a small amount of sauce with about the same amount or a slightly lesser amount of your cheese (or cheese alternative).
  4. Spread mix evenly on tortilla surface.
  5. Top with your favorite toppings. (We use slightly pre-cooked pepperoni most often, but thinly sliced onions and mushrooms---both cooked enough to release most of the liquid---make a great veggie topping.)
  6. Bake for about 8 to 9 minutes. Crust will be well browned on edges and the tortilla pizza will be crispy when done.
  7. Cut into four equal slices with a pizza cutter. Serve.

Notes

I've also made these pizzas using chili sauce and salsa as my sauce. The key with any of these sauces is to only use a small amount so that the crust is not weighed down and the sauce does not contain too much liquid. I spread it on about the thickness that I'd spread mayonnaise on bread. By the way, I don't use corn tortillas to make these pizzas. They really don't work well for gluten-free Tortilla Pizzas in my opinion.

    The question is….what WOULDN’T I make! I think the first thing I would make with the plain flavor would be a pizza! Only I would put cheese in between the double layers of tortillas!

    I’ve been looking for these locally (South Florida) but haven’t seen them yet. Hopefully soon! I’d like to try the plain ones & use them as a wrap for veggies.

    I would like to try the Fiesta flavor. I would make breakfast burritos, and so much more with them. I can’t find these locally yet, so I can’t wait until I do!

    I have tried the Rudi’s wraps and really like them. My favorite is the spinach wrap with turkey, cheese and avocado for lunch.

    I would choose Fiesta and make a Mexican lasagna. Not a huge fan of spinach, but it might make a great lunch with some veggies inside.

    My daughter recently had to go GF and so far is eating nothing so I’d get plain for her and try to make some kind of fun swirl wrap to get her interested. I haven’t had any luck finding these in the store yet. I also like both gfe and Rudi’s on Facebook.

    I would try the plain ones so I can make the delicious slow cooker dish of Carrie’s that I got sick from using the OTHER not so gf gf tortillas. I’d like the experience of enjoying the dish and not getting sick from a culprit. 😀

    I would love to try the spinach one! I can only find the plain around here – and they are good, so I can only imagine how delicious the flavored ones would be 🙂

    I would like to try the plain tortillas and make chicken quesadillas with them. I haven’t had a quesadilla in much too long.

    All of the flavors sound yummy, but I’d probably go with plain because I would use them with so many different toppings/fillings. Before going GF, tortillas were a quick any time/any meal time saver. My whole family hasn’t gone GF (yet) so I still buy flour tortillas (I haven’t sought out GF ones yet); in fact my daughter wants quesadillas for dinner tonight and we’re out of tortillas so I was just thinking how nice it would be to have GF tortillas so I could eat my fillings w/i a tortilla 🙂 We’ll see what we find at the store tonight…

    Even though I would like to try them all, the spinach/tomato would be my first choice. Oh, what a delight to make a wrap sandwich.

    I would love to try the spinach flavor. I would quickly make “sandwich” wraps with whatever deli meat, cheese, and veggies I had on hand.

    I would love to try the fiesta flavor and would use them for either soft tacos or enchiladas. I’m sorry, I just can’t hack corn tortillas!

    I would love to try the spinach flavor for a lunch time meat and cheese wrap!! My Son would love to try the plain for his quesadilla’s though!!

    I would love to try the spinach wraps to make a pizza with feta cheese, pesto sauce, red peppers and kale with olive oil. I live near Knoxville, TN and have found these wraps sold locally yet. They sound great!

    Oh YUM! I can definitely see those fiesta tortillas working with fish tacos. Or the spinach ones being perfect for cheese quesadillas. 🙂
