Ingredients

  • 4 small tortillas corn or flour, depending on preference
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
  • 1 large ripe tomato sliced
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze

Instructions

Prepare Your Ingredients

  • Start by washing the tomato and basil leaves thoroughly. Slice the tomato into thin rounds and slice the fresh mozzarella into pieces approximately the same size as your tortilla base.
  • Having everything ready before cooking speeds up the process.

Heat the Tortillas

  • Place each tortilla on a dry skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Warm each side for about 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted and slightly crispy.
  • This step ensures a sturdy base for your toppings that won’t get soggy.

Assemble Your Caprese Tortilla Pizzas

  • Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each warmed tortilla. Layer the slices of fresh mozzarella evenly over the tortilla, followed by the tomato slices.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.

Add Fresh Basil

  • Top each pizza with fresh basil leaves. The basil adds a burst of herbal aroma that complements the creamy cheese and juicy tomatoes perfectly.

Final Touches and Serve

  • Drizzle each pizza with balsamic glaze to add a subtle sweetness and tang. Serve immediately while the cheese is soft and melty against the crispy tortilla.
  • Enjoy warm or at room temperature for a light meal or appetizer.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Frying Pan

Notes

  • Use thin, small tortillas for a crispier base and better texture.
  • Warm tortillas before adding toppings to prevent sogginess.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently.
