Can I use whole wheat tortillas for this recipe?

Absolutely! Whole wheat tortillas can be a healthier option that adds fiber to your meal. The method remains the same, and you will still achieve a delightful crispy pizza. You might even enjoy the nuttier flavor that whole wheat provides.

What if I don’t have mozzarella cheese?

If mozzarella isn't on hand, you can use any cheese you like, such as cheddar or provolone. Just remember to adjust the quantity based on the cheese's melting properties and flavor profile. Feel free to get creative, mixing different cheeses for a gourmet touch.
