Tortilla Pizza Recipe

For convenience, I use store-bought rotisserie chicken for this BBQ Chicken Pizza recipe. To make individual tortilla pizzas, use taco size flour tortillas instead and adjust the ingredients accordingly.

Flour Tortillas

I use either Guerrero or Mission flour tortillas for this recipe. Mission also has gluten-free flour tortillas for those who are gluten intolerant.

Barbecue Sauce

I like to use  Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce (Original)

Adobo Sauce

Adding just a bit of adobo sauce to the barbecue sauce, gives the sauce a delicious slightly smokey flavor.

Rotisserie Chicken

For convenience, I use rotisserie chicken for this these individual pizzas, but homemade grilled chicken does the trick as well!

Cheese

I use a Mexican cheese blend for these pizzas, but feel free to use Mozzarella, or cheddar…whatever you prefer. 

Red Onion

I love the pieces of red onion on these pizzas, especially if the ends get a little charred!

Tomato

Adding chopped ripe tomato really adds a freshness to these pizzas!

Cilantro

Chopped cilantro gives these pizzas a delicious pop of flavor!
