# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in 20 minutes total, because sometimes you need dinner faster than a phone call.
  • The tortilla edges shatter when you bite them, creating this beautiful contrast with melted cheese that feels way more impressive than it should.
  • Endlessly customizable, so everyone at the table gets exactly what they want without three different meals.
02 -
  • The parchment paper is not optional if you want crispy bottoms; direct oven racks work too, but watch them constantly or you'll end up with charred bottoms and regret.
  • Don't skip preheating the baking sheet itself—the residual heat underneath is what creates that satisfying crispness that makes this better than regular pizza.
03 -
  • If your oven runs hot or cold, adjust the temperature slightly and watch closely—every oven has moods, and respecting those moods saves you from burnt edges.
  • Brush the oil on the parchment paper itself before laying down the tortilla; it's easier and you'll get better coverage with less oil overall.
