Crispy Tomato Basil Pesto Flatbread Pizzas image

Basil pesto, fresh mozzarella, roasted tomatoes and fresh basil leaves top a crispy flatbread for individual pizzas. Don't worry if you don't have time for the dough to rise to make the flatbread - this uses store-bought flour tortillas as an alternate base. Quick, easy and delicious!

Time 57m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 plum tomatoes, sliced
1 cup olive oil, divided
10 (6 inch) flour tortillas
1 (8 ounce) jar basil pesto (such as Classico® Traditional)
1 (8 ounce) fresh mozzarella ball, sliced thinly
1 bunch fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Spread tomato slices out on baking sheet. Drizzle some olive oil over slices.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until tender, about 6 minutes. Remove from oven and cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Peel skin off slices; discard.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line another baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Brush both sides of each tortilla with olive oil and arrange on baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool, about 5 minutes.
  • Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of pesto in a thin layer over each tortilla. Top with mozzarella cheese slices, 8 basil leaves, and some roasted tomato slices.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until mozzarella cheese is melted, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool slightly, about 2 minutes, before slicing with a pizza cutter.
