Cast Iron Skillet Tortilla Pizzas
Ok, we have a new food obsession in our house! Cast iron skillet tortilla pizzas. Say that 10 times fast. Turns out that you can actually make these faster than you can say the name! I timed myself last week and I made an entire pizza in 3 1/2 minutes from start to finish—no joke! These are perfect for getting lunch/dinner/snack on the table fast!

The trick to getting a tortilla pizza to be perfectly crisp is to run it under the broiler while it’s still in your cast iron pan. It cooks it from both sides so it’s lightning fast!

Thin crust pizza is my very favorite—I think it’s the East Coaster in me! The outer edge of the tortilla crust gets crispy like a cracker, and the center is just crispy enough to hold the toppings without breaking apart.

Speaking of toppings—the sky is the limit! You can top these tortilla pizzas any way you like—they’re a great way to use up leftovers. My favorite flavor combinations have been BBQ Chick’n, Thai Veggie, Classic Cheese, and Wine & Cheese Night. They are all so good. Depending on what kind of leftovers I have in the fridge I will make up a few different flavors and we each have a few slices of each one for lunch—did I mention how much the boys love these? Jonathan asks for “pizzy” every day!

Instructions
Basic Method:
- Preheat the broiler of your oven.
- Place cast iron skillet on stovetop and turn on heat to medium high—a 6 or 7 out of 10. As it starts preheating place your tortilla in the pan. Working carefully, spread the sauce on the already cooking tortilla. Add the toppings you want, then top with cheese. At the 2 minute mark from when you put the tortilla in the pan check the bottom of the tortilla. It should be just starting to brown. Turn off the heat on the stove and transfer the cast iron pan straight into the oven. Watching very carefully, allow the pizza to cook an additional 1 - 1 1/2 minutes under the broiler. The cheese will start bubbling and the tortilla will brown. Let it cook until the cheese has melted, but remove at the very first sign of burning!
- Carefully transfer pizza onto a cutting board to cool—I use a large spatula for this. The pizza will be crisp so it should transfer easily. Allow to cool for a minute before cutting to help keep the cheese from sliding off.
- Repeat the process for additional pizzas. Each one should take about 3 1/2 minutes total—they're just that easy! Serve as soon as they're sliced—I find that at least Daiya tastes best freshly melted.
