How to Make Stuffed Crust Tortilla Pizza

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
• Place a tortilla on a parchment-lined baking sheet or greased pizza pan.
• Slice each cheese stick in half lengthwise. Position a half-cheese stick, cut side down, at four evenly spaced points around the tortilla edge.
• Fold the tortilla edge up and slightly under each cheese piece, wrapping the cheese in the tortilla. Secure each wrapped piece with two toothpicks pushed through the cheese into the tortilla bottom. The wrapped edges will form a square or slightly rounded stuffed crust.
• Spread pizza sauce over the inside of the tortilla and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.

• Arrange salami or pepperoni slices over the cheese, then sprinkle with shredded parmesan.
• Mix melted butter with garlic salt and brush it generously over the stuffed edges.
• Bake 18–20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the center is bubbling.
• Let the pizza rest a few minutes, then remove the toothpicks.
• Garnish with grated parmesan and chopped fresh basil. Slice and enjoy.

Storage and Reheating

Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Reheat: For best texture, warm a slice in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until the crust crisps. To revive melty cheese, add a few drops of water away from the pizza in the pan, cover, and steam for 1–2 minutes. Alternatively, reheat on a baking sheet in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes or until heated through.
