Filipino Style Recipe: Homemade Pizza Tortilla is inspire to typical pizza made of oven-baked flat, round bread topped with tomato sauce, cheese and various toppings. I had left-over tortillas from previous company outing. Since I had some ingredients for pizza making, I decided to used tortillas as alternative to pizza crust. I like thin-crust so it is a good idea to used tortillas. I also have a tight budget so I used hotdog slices as alternative to pepperoni. You may choose various toppings based on your budget and what you prefer. Good luck and enjoy!
