# Quick Tips:
01 -
- It transforms humble leftovers into a meal that feels intentional and special without any extra grocery runs.
- The tortilla base crisps up like a thin crust pizza in under fifteen minutes, which makes it perfect for nights when patience is in short supply.
02 -
- Do not overload the tortilla with toppings or the center will stay soft and soggy instead of crisping up properly.
- Pre baking the bare tortillas for two minutes before adding toppings was a game changer I discovered after one too many floppy results.
03 -
- Squeeze a tiny bit of lemon juice over the finished pizza to wake up the salmon and make all the flavors pop.
- Let the baked pizza rest for one minute before slicing so the cheese sets slightly and your toppings do not slide right off.
