Notes

-tortilla pizza oven temperature: 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
-How to make tortilla pizza crispy: Leave the tortilla pizza in the oven for the longer end of time, or if you are in a rush, turn up the temperature or place under the broiler on high.   It will cook quickly, so make sure to stick around to check it frequently.
This is a chicken tortilla pizza recipe as I used ground chicken chorizo sausage.  You can use any meat that you like or have on hand.
-I used dairy-free mozzarella cheese from Violife. 
-If you are wanting to make a healthy tortilla pizza you can use lean meat such as ground chicken sausage, no meat and use a plant-based cheese.  You can also load this up with veggies.  Some vegetables that work well are spinach, onions, peppers, squash, potato.
-I found it was not necessary to grease the cast iron pan I was using.  I also made one on a baking sheet and the tortilla did not stick to either pan.
