Directions

  1. 1

    Heat a 10-11 inch non-stick skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Place the tortilla or pizza dough in the hot skillet and cook for 2 minutes until it begins to lightly brown.

  3. 3

    Reduce the heat to medium-low and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle generously with the shredded cheese, then distribute your toppings: ham, spinach, tomato, bell pepper, and mushrooms.

  5. 5

    Add a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano to your taste.

  6. 6

    Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and cook for 5 to 7 minutes over low heat, until the cheese is completely melted and the crust is golden underneath.

  7. 7

    Check for doneness by lifting the crust slightly with a spatula: it should be crispy and lightly browned.

  8. 8

    Transfer to a plate, let rest for 1 minute, and serve immediately.

💡 Chef's Tip

Chef's tip: Preheat your skillet with a drizzle of oil to ensure an extra crispy base. You can also add an egg to the center during cooking for an 'egg pizza' version. Do not cover for too long if you prefer a very crispy crust.
