I have been experimenting with different types of pizza hoping I can find one that doesn’t take a whole lot of time when those pizza cravings strike. But, I also want to make sure I try to keep it low glycemic and low(ish) carb.
Thankfully, I found some low carb wheat tortillas that were also high in fiber. I even made some breakfast with them. I had some ingredients leftover from another pizza (hello, chicken crust?) and wanted to see if I could somehow make a pizza out of the tortillas. I had seem them around the web and wondered just how well the tortilla’s held up.
I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I doubt a single layer is going to hold a whole lot of toppings.
So I decided to make mine a quad decker. Honestly, I wished I had put some peppers and mushrooms on it, but I needed a trip to the grocery store.
I also called upon my heavy-duty cast iron skillet. I think this helped make the bottom tortilla firm up.
I put it under the broiler and it took less than 5 minutes.
Bingo.
Super fast lunch, snack or even dinner!
- 4 low carb wheat tortillas, per pizza
- ½ cup homemade sauce
- 2 TBS oregano
- 24 pieces of pepperoni (I used turkey)
- 1 c shredded mozarella
- Oven safe pan
- Preheat the oven to 425.
- Make sure the bottom of your baking pan or cast iron skillet is greased.
- You don't want the tortillas to stick.
- Put the first tortilla down.
- Spread a little sauce on the tortilla.
- Sprinkle the oregano.
- Place pepperoni on the sauce and top with cheese.
- Repeat this process for the remaining 3 tortillas.
- Place the pan in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
If you are looking for an even lower carb option, check out this pizza made with a chicken crust. YUMMMMM.
Now you have me craving pizza. Sounds and looks delicious!
I crave pizza all the time. When we order out its a treat. Usually super thin crust or I pick the toppings off. Its not worth the stomach ache.
We’re too much in the boonies to have pizza delivered. We buy Wal-mart’s Deli ultimate meat pizza, and add mushrooms and olives. Can’t go wrong under $10 🙂
We have 1 independent in town that will deliver. But I am not a fan of their pizza. The other will deliver but it takes so long since we are just on the boarder of their delivery service. I have purchased those from WalMart. I get them from other stores. Really good, fresh pizza.
I am always craving pizza. I dont think it ever ends.
I never thought to make pizza with tortillas before. I definitely have to try this out, since pepperoni pizza is my absolute weakness.
I am not much for eating pizza because of carbs. Maybe I can just eat pizza again. I am going to try this
I have a few low carb options on the site. If this one doesnt work out for you, maybe there is another one you would like.
This looks like a great pizza,I will like to give this a try so thank you for sharing.
You are very welcome.
Great way to cut carbs and not flavor. We do this on the grill sometimes.
I’ll have to try grilling sometime!
What a smart idea! I’ll have to try your low-carb pizza!
I hope you do!
I love pizza sooo much I could seriously eat it every day! We have to order it once a week! I will have to try your recipe, yum!!
I love pizza! I have no idea what I would do without it.
That’s easy enough and pepperoni is one of my favorites when it comes to pizza. Add a few black olives and I would be in heaven.
I wish I had some. I really wanted to do ham, black olive and mushrooms!
Great idea! Looks delicious, i will have to give it a try. .
Thank you, I hope you do!
Bingo is right! That looks like the perfect way to go, and I’m totally going there.
Enjoy!
I never thought about making pizza like that! It looks and sounds so yummy, think this would be a great hit with my family!
I hope they like it!
We’re trying to eat healthier the next couple of weeks to kickstart our healthy habits. I’m pinning this recipe. It looks great!
Good luck and thank you for the pin!
I love tortillas, but never thoughts to try them as a pizza. I’ll have to test this one out!
I hope you do and that it works for you!
Pizza is one of my most FAVE foods. I’d like to try your version to save on carbs. I’m such a carb-oholic!
I hope you like it.
These look delicious! I love the fact that it is lower carb as well.
Thanks!
I LOVE homemade pizza! It’s so much healthier than restaurants – I really can’t handle all that grease most of the time. I like to make ours with wheat tortillas too.
Oh the grease and all that dough gets me every time.
Oh yummm!! You’re making me want this right now!
hahhaa 😉
I love that you used whole wheat tortillas. Have you ever tried carb balance? High in dietary fiber!
I have. I enjoy those from time to time.
Our kids love Pepperoni Pizza! Sounds like a great recipe to make this summer! 🙂
Have a pick your topping pizza party!
I love the layers. I’ve never tried making a pizza in a skillet
It seemed like a good option since it would toast the bottom. Plus, less worry about spillage should it slide.
We do pizzas with tortilla pizzas for lunch with the kids. It’s a great quick meal!
That is awesome!
That pizza looks great. My son loves cheese pizza
So easy for you to make for him 😉
YUM! Going low carb is one of my favorite diets since some of my favorite foods are still included! 😉 Thanks for the recipe!
It’s a way of eating for me. Things too high in carbs tend to upset my guts. Ugh. I do find I feel a lot better overall too.
Wow, these looks really tasty! I bet my whole family would love them!
Give them a try, I hope they do!
We love wheat tortillas. Use them in several dishes.
I am fond of the whole grain higher fiber. I find they don’t upset my stomach as much.
It looks like a tasty little pizza. I like that it’s low carb and single proportion.
I am glad you enjoyed the post!
I love the layered effect of your pizza! Looks ways too tasty and yummy!!
Thank you.
I have been looking for some low carb options for pizza. This looks simple and tasty and something that you can add whatever you like to it.
I hope this works for you.
This looks very yummy! I love that you used tortillas for the crust.
Thank you.
That is a great alternative to carbs. We have made pizza roll-ups in tortillas before.
I never thought about rolling them up. I have done that with vegetables, meats and cheese.
What a quick way to make a pizza. This sounds and looks yummy!
Thank you!
One of the things I really hated about doing low carb was no pizza! Thanks for this delicious recipe!
It was something that bothered me as well. I tried a few different recipes and found that this one was just as good even with a few extra carbs.
That looks like the kind of thing I made back in my college years:) I love the concept!
I’m pretty sure I was guilty of that during those times too 😉
Wow what a delish low carb recipe. I would have never thought of stacking the tortillas or using the cast iron skillet. Thanks for the idea.
You are welcome!
This is a great idea! I have some tortilla laying around too and here i have just been putting cheese on them and dipping them in salsa!
I’ve done that too!
Pizza with tortillas is a great concept! I need to try that soon. Your pizza looks yummy!
Thanks so much.
What a great idea, making pizza on tortillas – awesome! Perfect way to get low carb pizza!
Thank you!
Hey this looks easy to make! A low-carb pizza sounds like great thing to make without the guilt afterwards!
That sounds like a delicious cheat day treat for me. I love pizza and a low carb way to make it is fantastic.
Gotta love those quick and easy meals like that! I love making pizza with cauliflower crust but it takes a little more time.
That is one I have not tried yet. It has been on my list for ages.
Awesome idea! Making this! Thank you for linking up to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party. I have pinned your post to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest board.
What a great idea! I’ll have to try this some time.
I hope you do!
You can never go wrong with pizza. Low carbs and that quick. I will be using this recipe on those overwhelming days for something quick and easy. Thanks!
Welcome!
Wheat tortillas, huh? I like that idea. Sounds yummy.
It makes it so easy and simple.
That looks so good. I know what I want for dinner now!
Enjoy!
I love pizza and would eat it more often if it was healthier for me. That crust gets you every time. This is a great idea. I wouldn’t have thought to use a tortilla for the crust. Thanks for linking up to Merry Monday Link Party.
Crust…mmmm when done right, yummy. But it sure does not like me.
Funny we are eating pizza for dinner! I got gluten free and my sons eat regular. Love this recipe. May try it out at home for them. Sure they would have a ball making it with me!
