🥛 Ingredients

You'll need just a few ingredients to make this satisfying low-carb tortilla pizza.

Ingredient Details

Low-carb Tortillas - These will work as our pizza base. You can find them in almost every large grocery store or supermarket. They're sometimes called keto tortillas or 'lite' wraps. In the UK and the US, they're also available on Amazon.

Tomato sauce - I made mine by mixing tomato puree* with some salt & Italian herbs. Store-bought tomato sauce is often loaded with sugar, which will increase the carb content.

Garlic powder & Italian seasoning - Add another flavor burst and maximize that feel-food pizza effect. Use any Italian seasoning mix you like (it usually contains parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, etc.). You can also add some salt & pepper here (to taste).

Shredded mozzarella cheese - I used a vegan mozzarella alternative, but you can use any cheese you like most.

Fresh basil - this fragrant topping takes it to the next level.

*Remember that tomato puree is NOT the same as tomato paste. Tomato puree is simply just blended tomatoes, whereas tomato paste is much more concentrated & thicker.

Don't forget! These topping suggestions are just my standard go-to choices but feel free to add your own toppings of choice.

I like adding a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil when serving my low carb pizza.

You can also add a little parmesan cheese for some extra saltiness (I used dairy-free parmesan from GreenVie).

Tip! Remember that every single oven works a little differently. Set a timer for about 8 minutes, and then keep checking the pizza at regular intervals. Yours might need a little longer or shorter to reach a crispy crust, depending on your oven.

💡 Pro Tips

Remember that this pizza base is SUPER thin and burns faster than regular pizza crust.
You can spray or brush the tortillas with oil before adding other toppings.
Load up on veggies: they add flavor & nutrients without adding many carbs.
You can turn it into a white pizza by skipping the tomato sauce and replacing it with oil & garlic.
Experiment with herbs & spices: Bring out all your favorite pizza flavors like oregano, thyme, basil, parsley, etc.
Add some jalapeños or sprinkle it with red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Extra tip - Mind the Moisture: Pat dry any vegetables that release moisture (like mushrooms, eggplants, courgette & tomatoes) before placing them on the pizza to avoid a soggy crust.

❓FAQ

Can I use regular tortillas for this recipe?

While regular tortillas will work, using low-carb alternatives will reduce your carb intake significantly.

Do you need to fry the tortilla in a pan before baking it in the oven?

No, there's no need for that. Simply open the packaging, add the toppings, and place it straight in the oven. I tried both methods, and the difference was minimal.

How many carbs are there in a tortilla pizza?

This depends on the wraps you are using. See the nutritional information in my recipe card for an estimate.

What are some more low-carb pizza toppings?

The options are practically endless. If you like veggies, try onions, bell peppers, spinach, zucchini, eggplant, or olives.

How do I know the pizza is ready?

You'll know when it's ready when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden and crispy. Remember that if you're using a vegan cheese alternative, it will melt differently than regular cheese.

📦 Storage

First, let the pizza cool down completely. Slice it and place the slices in an airtight container.

This will keep in the fridge for about 2-3 days. You can enjoy it cold or warm it up thoroughly before serving it again.
