Ingredients
  

For the Chickpeas:
  • 1 14 ounce can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • to taste Kosher salt and pepper
For the Pizzas:
  • 2 burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese or an Italian blend/provolone/etc
  • to taste finely grated parmesan cheese for sprinkling
  • to taste chopped fresh basil or parsley for sprinkling

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Oven mitts
  • Spatula

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that your pizzas bake quickly and evenly.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Chickpeas - In a mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas, olive oil, smoked paprika, minced onion, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, dried oregano, and a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the chickpeas are well-coated.
  3. Step 3: Roast the Chickpeas - Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown. Make sure to shake the pan halfway through for even cooking.
  4. Step 4: Prepare the Tortilla Pizzas - While the chickpeas are roasting, take your burrito-size flour tortillas and place them on another baking sheet. Spread about half a cup of marinara sauce on each tortilla, leaving a little room around the edges.
  5. Step 5: Add Cheese and Toppings - Once the chickpeas are ready, remove them from the oven and evenly distribute them over the sauced tortillas. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese generously on top, followed by a sprinkle of finely grated parmesan cheese.
  6. Step 6: Bake the Tortilla Pizzas - Place the baking sheet with the assembled tortilla pizzas in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  7. Step 7: Garnish and Serve - Remove the pizzas from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh basil or parsley. For an extra kick, add more crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Slice into wedges and serve hot!

Notes

  • These pizzas are best enjoyed fresh but can have components prepared ahead of time.
  • Roast chickpeas a day in advance and reheat before using.
  • Assembled pizzas can be stored in the fridge for a few hours before baking.
