Type C Mom Hacks

Let’s build some pizzas without turning your kitchen into a full-blown pizzeria.

Pizza night doesn’t have to mean waiting for delivery or making homemade dough from scratch. Tortillas crisp up beautifully in the oven, cook in minutes, and make it easy for toddlers, picky eaters, and adults to customize their own dinner.

Why This Works

• Everyone gets exactly what they want
• No dough-making, kneading, or rising time
• Uses ingredients you probably already have
• Kids stay busy building their pizzas while you finish dinner
• Ready faster than most takeout orders

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these in the air fryer?
Yes. Cook at 375°F for about 4-6 minutes, checking frequently since tortillas crisp quickly.

Can I freeze this?
It’s best to freeze assembled, unbaked tortilla pizzas rather than cooked leftovers. Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.

Can I substitute ingredients?
Absolutely. Any pizza toppings, cheeses, or sauces you enjoy will work. This recipe is designed to be flexible.

How long do leftovers last?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven, toaster oven, or air fryer to keep the crust crispy.
