Crispy BBQ Chicken Tortilla Pizza (Ready in 10 Minutes!)
If you love a thin, ultra-crispy crust piled high with smoky BBQ chicken and melty cheese, this one’s for you.
Ingredients
- 1 whole-grain flour tortilla
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce, or more to taste
- 2 ounces cooked, diced chicken mixed with BBQ sauce
- 2 to 4 tablespoons shredded 2% Mexican cheese, or part-skim mozzarella
- Red pepper flakes, if you like fiery heat, optional
- ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced, optional
Instructions
- Set the oven to broil. Place the tortilla on a baking sheet and put it in the oven on the middle rack (it can burn too easily on the top rack).
- Cook for 3 to 5 minutes total, flipping after each minute. (Note: Ovens and tortilla ingredients will vary, so watch carefully so the tortilla doesn’t burn. If air pockets form and your tortilla bubbles, press down with a wide spatula to flatten or pop a small hole in the tortilla with a sharp knife to deflate.)
- Remove the tortilla from the oven and spread BBQ sauce on top, covering the majority of the tortilla except for a border of about 1/8 inch all the way around. Add the chicken, optional onion, and sprinkle cheese evenly over the top, along with any other preferred seasonings.
- Place back in the oven for about 30 to 45 seconds, until the cheese is melted. Let it cool slightly to allow it to crunch up more. Cut into slices and enjoy.
Notes
Gluten-free version: To make this recipe gluten-free, use a gluten-free corn tortilla. Corn tortillas cook faster and tend to be dryer, so you can skip broiling entirely. Bake the tortilla on a sheet pan at 425°F (middle rack) for 4–6 minutes, flipping once halfway, until lightly crisp. Add the BBQ sauce, chicken, and cheese, then bake 2–3 minutes more until the cheese melts.
