# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The entire thing happens in 20 minutes, so you can satisfy a pizza craving without planning ahead or waiting for dough to rise.
  • That tortilla crust gets shatteringly crisp on the outside while staying tender enough to fold slightly—it's the best texture surprise.
  • You control every topping, so there's zero waste and endless room to use whatever's lingering in your fridge.
02 -
  • The single most important thing is that hot baking sheet—without it, your tortilla steams instead of crisps, and you end up with pizza-flavored flatbread instead of the shattering texture you're after.
  • Resist the urge to pile toppings like you're building a defensive wall; less is genuinely more here, because every topping adds moisture that softens the crust.
03 -
  • If your tortillas are thick or extra soft, they'll need the full 10 minutes—thinner ones might finish in 8, so start checking around the 7-minute mark and trust what you see and smell.
  • Slightly stale tortillas from a day or two ago actually work better than fresh ones, so this is a great way to rescue a half-used package sitting in your pantry.
