FAQ

  • Can I use different types of cheese?

    Yes! Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as cheddar, provolone, or a blend of Italian cheeses.
  • What other toppings can I use?

    The possibilities are endless! Try adding vegetables like onions, peppers, or spinach. You can also add cooked chicken or sausage for a heartier pizza.
  • My tortilla is getting soggy. What can I do?

    Try microwaving the tortilla by itself for 15-20 seconds before adding the toppings. This will help to crisp it up a bit. Also, avoid adding too much sauce, as this can also contribute to sogginess.
  • Can I use a smaller tortilla?

    Yes, adjust the ingredient quantities accordingly. Smaller tortilla will cook faster, so check frequently.
