Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup pickled jalapeños
  • Sour cream (for serving)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (for serving)
  • Avocado slices or guacamole (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush each tortilla lightly on both sides with this mixture.
  3. Place tortillas in a single layer on a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 5-7 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. Toss cooked chicken with taco seasoning and lime juice until evenly coated.
  5. Lay out crispy tortillas on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute seasoned chicken over each tortilla.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the chicken.
  7. Add diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and jalapeños evenly over the cheese.
  8. Bake assembled pizzas at 425°F (220°C) for 8-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes.
  10. Serve with dollops of sour cream, fresh cilantro, and avocado slices.

Notes

If tortilla crust feels too soft after baking, broil for 30 seconds watching carefully to avoid burning. Use a sharp pizza cutter or large knife to slice to avoid tearing the crust. For gluten-free, use corn tortillas. For dairy-free, use vegan cheese alternatives and sour cream substitutes.
