  • Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper over the chicken. Mix in 3 tablespoons of marinara.
    1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, ¼ tsp pepper, 3 tbsp marinara sauce
  • Cook, stirring frequently, for 5–7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the tortillas on a baking sheet. Spread 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce evenly over each tortilla, followed by ¼ cup ground chicken, ¼ cup mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons each of green bell pepper and mushroom, and 1 tablespoon of red onion. Option to sprinkle additional Italian seasoning or oregano on top, as well as chili flakes for an extra kick.
    4 tortilla, ½ cup marinara sauce, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, ½ cup green bell pepper, ½ cup mushroom, ¼ cup red onion
  • Place the tortilla pizzas in the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the tortilla are golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice into wedges and enjoy immediately.

Cooking Tips

  • Save Time: Use pre-cooked or leftover chicken to reduce preparation time.
  • Prevent Sogginess: Lightly toast the tortillas before adding toppings for a crispier base.
  • Cheese Alternatives: Substitute mozzarella with plant-based or reduced-fat cheese to meet dietary preferences.
  • Fresh Flavour Boost: Sprinkle fresh basil, arugula, or chili flakes on top after baking for extra flavour.
  • Customizable Toppings: Experiment with other vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or olives for variety.
  • Reheating: Use an air fryer or oven to reheat for a crispy texture instead of microwaving.
