Vegan Green Tortilla Pizza with oil-free pesto, cashew sauce and all the greens.
There’s not much to say about today’s recipe. Because if you’ve ever tried tortilla pizzas, you know it exactly that these are super amazing. And if you’ve never made these, then you SERIOUSLY have to make these right now. Because tortilla pizzas are simply the best. They make the easiest and quickest weeknight dinner….honestly, I’ve never met anybody who wouldn’t love these.
This vegan green tortilla pizza is kinda the love child of two worlds – anybody who is into green, healthy and pretty food will love it, and anybody who wants some quick, ‘trashy/junk’ pizza will adore it as well. Tortillas make a great pizza base. That’s a fact. If you are lazy you can just use some store-bought vegan pesto or tomato sauce, but if you feel fancy like I usually do when it comes to food, then try this version. It’s an absolute eye candy and tastes simply heavenly!
Also, trust me. If you’ve never tried a pizza with avocados before, then please, try it right now. It’s super amazing. I personally don’t like them baked, but oh gosh, when they are raw on a freshly baked pizza, they are the best pizza topping!
If you are looking for other super quick (and kid-friendly) pizza options, try my Pita Pizzas. Or if you want to try something healthy and a bit more special, my Mini Cauliflower Pizza recipe are perfect for you.

Vegan Green Tortilla Pizza with Avocado
- Total Time: 25 mins
- Yield: 2 1x
Ingredients
- 2 tortillas (use GF if needed)
For the pesto sauce
- 1/2 zucchini, diced
- 1 cup of tightly packed basil
- 1 cup of tightly packed arugula
- 1 tbsp of tahini
- 2–3 tbsp of nutritional yeast
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 lemon, juice
- salt, pepper
For the cashew sauce
- 1/2 cup of cashews, preferably soaked
- 1 tsp white miso
- 1/4–1/3 cup of water
- 1 lemon, juice
For the toppings
- 1/2 zucchini
- 1/2 cup of fresh green peas
- 2 green tomatoes
- 1 scallion
- 1 avocado
- 1/3 cup of fresh basil
- 1/3 cup of arugula
- 1/4 cup of garden cress
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Place tortillas on a baking sheet and bake at 180°C/360ºF for 7-10 minutes, until just crisp.
- Meanwhile prepare sauces and toppings. For the pesto base add ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Do the same with cashew sauce ingredients. You want a thick, but drizzleable sauce.
- For the toppings slice zucchini, green tomatoes and avocado thinly, and chop scallions.
- Spread pesto over crisp tortillas. Top with sliced zucchini, tomatoes and green peas. Drizzle with cashew sauce. Return to oven and bake until toppings are heated through, about 5-7 minutes.

I love thin crust pizza, which is why I love tortilla pizza too. Quick to bake and makes a lovely blank canvas to work with creative and interesting toppings 🙂
Yes, the exact same with me!
Thin crust pizza is the best, but often I’m just too lazy to make a dough, and then I love tortilla pizza 😉
Here’s the truth: NEVER thought of making pizza with tortillas, but I’m going to be on these this weekend! Oh my gosh your pics are making my mouth water. Beautiful and can’t wait to make it. Did I mention I’m making these this weekend???? 😉
Hahahaha, I’m so glad to see I’m not the only one who gets super excited for tortilla pizza 😛
Let me know how you liked them!!
I love this over loaded tortilla pizza! Cashew sauce sounds heavenly, Evi.
Thanks, Angie!
If I can’t find green tomatoes, would tomatillos work?
I’ve actually never tried tomatillos in my life, but I’m pretty sure they would work. Actually regular red tomatoes would work perfectly too, but for aesthetics reasons I chose to use green ones here 😉
Tortilla base pizzas are so yum. But I have never seen such a pretty looking green pizza like this. The topping is just droolicious. I would I could have a huge slice of this pizza right away.
Thanks, Anu!
But why just a slice? I always eat a whole pizza 😀
I’ve never had a tortilla pizza, Evi! Also, I’ve never tried an avocado on a pizza (Indeed, I love baked avocadoes so I need to try them both raw and baked). And I’ve never had a completely green pizza either. Look how many “never” in a few sentences:) Delicious pizza!
Oh, Ben! You have to try them all ASAP! I think you’d absolutely love a good tortilla pizza 😉
Awesome vegan ‘pizza’, tasty, healthy and easy to make.
Thank you for sharing Evi.

Thanks, Iraklis! And wow, what a great guide, thanks for sharing!
My husband and I are not vegan but we’ve been looking for some healthier dinner options. This pizza was delicious and filling. We loved it and will definitely make it again!
Thank you!
Hi Tracy! So happy to hear you liked it 🙂
So I hate when people don’t follow the recipe AT ALL and then rate it anyway (usually poorly…jerks), but I had just made some pesto last night and had to try this for lunch even though I didn’t have miso to make the sauce. I also didn’t have the water cress, but it was still SO YUMMY! I absolutely loved the scallion bits and avocado! The next time I head to the store, I’ll grab the miso and make that delicious-sounding sauce! I cannot wait… Thanks for the recipe!
Hahaha, thanks for your comment, Malea. It’s really always a pain in the ass, when people change the whole recipe, then complain that it turned out bad 😀
But I’m so glad you liked this, avocado is really a game-changer on pizza, right? 😉
Really enjoyed this recipe – the pesto and sauce were particularly good. Thank you!
I’m really glad to hear you liked it, Heather 🙂
