I learned to use tortillas for a pizza crust from my aunt many years ago. She used to make what she called Armenian meat pizzas with them but I realized then how delicious and easy pizza tastes with tortillas as the crust.

Low Carb Tortilla Pizza Crust
While pepperoni pizza is a family favorite you can use any toppings you want and I’ll share some other combinations you can make below. And while I made them in the air fryer you can also just make them in the oven on a baking sheet. Besides the taste, my favorite thing about this recipe is how quick and easy it is to make. Start to finish it takes just about 10 minutes!
All you need to make this easy recipe is low-carb tortillas, pizza sauce (I used marinara sauce), mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings. You can also use fresh herbs, Italian seasoning or other spices like onion powder or garlic powder. However the sauce I use is pretty tasty and therefore you don’t need any.
The hardest part about this recipe is finding a good low carb tortilla and that’s not hard at all. The ones I used today are the Keto Friendly Flour Tortillas from Aldi. They have just 60 calories and 0g net carbs. They also make a low carb control tortilla but they have a few more carbs.

Mission Carb Balance Tortillas are also good too with just 45 calories and 3g net carbs. New brands are popping up in the grocery store all the time. If you don’t mind ordering on Amazon I’ve bought these mini La Banderita tortillas and they were fantastic. You don’t want to use corn tortillas as they are not low carb.
As for the sauce I like Rao’s marinara. Aldi Specialty Selects Marinara is also a go low carb sauce to try though I like the flavor of Rao’s. You want to use a no sugar-added sauce as some store bought ones are full of sugar. Check the labels.
Step 2: Place a low carb flour tortilla on a plate or cutting board. Then spoon the tomato sauce over top. Spread it out with a spoon to cover the whole tortilla.

Step 3: Add your favorite toppings before you add the cheese. They air fryer tends to blow around light foods so you want your toppings to stay put and the cheese weights it down.
My son usually uses a few slices of pepperoni See below for some other ideas. Also if you have a lot of the tortilla showing when you make these you can spray the edges of the tortillas with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
Step 4: Place the pizza in the preheated air fryer and cook at 400°F for 4-5 minutes. Note cooking times may vary.

Step 5: Check on your pizza and see if it’s done a minute or so before it’s done. When it’s cooked to your liking take it out and let cool for a few minutes to set up. Then getting out the pizza cutter and serve.

The Magic Of The Tortilla Pizza (the Laziest Keto Staple On Earth)
Since we use a 7 inch tortilla they fit fine in the air fryer. But if you are using a larger size you will want to make it in the oven.
Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a rimmed baking sheet by spraying with nonstick cooking spray. You can also use parchment paper or a silicone mat to cover the baking sheet if you wish. Place prepared pizzas on the cook sheet then place into the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes.
I also made a veggie version that you can see below. I just used about 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil mixed with 1 clove of crushed garlic and spread all over the tortilla along with a sprinkle of Italian seasonings. Then I place the thinly sliced veggies and topped with mozzarella.

Here are few great options to try. You can make a meatlovers pizza by using pepperoni, sausage and bacon. Or an all veggie pizza with mushrooms, peppers, onions, broccoli, etc. A white pizza doesn’t use sauce but rather olive oil and fresh garlic. Top with fresh mozzarella and fresh basil leaves to make that one.
Well I hope you give this low-carb tortilla pizza a try. They are so tasty and something that I can make just about anytime for a quick meal. If you like thin-crust pizzas you will love this these.
