Tortilla Pizza with Figs, Feta, Bacon and Arugula
Feel like a pizza but have no time to prepare homemade dough? Use a corn tortilla--you're guaranteed to have a super thin crust.
Author: Lemons & Anchovies
Recipe type: Main
Ingredients
- The ingredients are for 2 5-6 inch pizzas
- 2 corn tortillas (I used red pepper corn tortillas)
- 4 fresh figs, sliced (2 figs per pizza)
- A handful crumbled, cooked bacon (about 2 strips)
- A handful crumbled feta cheese
- Arugula
- Olive Oil for brushing on tortilla
- Balsamic Vinegar for brushing on figs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Invert a baking tray and line it with aluminum foil. You can also use a pizza stone if you have one.
- Set the tortillas on the lined baking sheet. Brush each tortilla with a little olive oil. Arrange the fig slices on the tortilla and brush lightly with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Sprinkle the crumbled feta followed by the bacon.
- Bake the pizzas for 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the tortillas are crisp and brown. Transfer the pizzas to a plate. They won't be perfectly crisp right out of the oven but a few minutes rest on the baking tray will do the trick. Garnish with as much arugula as you like before serving.
Notes
Makes 2 6-inch round pizzas.

When i put together some leftover I have at the bottom of the fridge before we leave on vacation it never looks so elegant!
Love the tortilla pizza crust and the layers of figs, cheese and fresh arugula makes it a beautiful and delicious dinner.
Enjoy the rest of your trip Jean!

I always keep a batch of homemade pizza dough in the freezer for emergencies but these look like a lovely alternative – and beautifully light with that salty sweet topping. Photos are beautiful too!

Beautiful photography. What is it about figs? They make you feel good just looking at them.

Jean – LOVE this pizza! The flavors are outstanding and I bet it was hard to eat just one piece. You know me – I love figs. Made another batch of balsamic fig jam – about 44 jars to be exact. 🙂 Hope your day is going great!!!
Rosa says
A great idea and fabulous choice of topping!
Cheers,

This looks rather original. I have also just started using tortillas as a base for a quick pizza. I also stack them up with different fillings inside and then slice them like a cake. It works well, especially if you stack them in a cake tin with a removable bottom and then cook them.

Absolutely beautiful! I too had a recent fig overload and pizza seems to be a great way to use them up, wish I had goat cheese now…

I never thought of using tortillas as pizza crust. That’s a great idea for leftover ones after a fajitas binge.

Holly, I’ve wasted so many tortillas from not using them up on taco nights–they’ll be used this way from now on. BTW, in your neck of the woods right now (well, in France). 🙂
Faith says
