Yesterday was the first really nice sunny day we’ve had this spring. 75° F and mostly clear skies. Such a nice combination that I had to break out a solar oven to cook lunch. But what to cook? I decided to make a recipe on the spot.
Sun-Cooked Tortilla Pizza
- 1 tortilla
- assorted cheeses and other toppings
- sauce
Lightly oil a cast-iron pan and preheat the pan in your sun oven. I didn’t preheat it all that much, to about 150° F but I’d recommend waiting until about 250° F. The cast-iron takes awhile to heat up.

Get your toppings ready. I used mozzarella, parmesan, fresh chives from our Earthbox, turkey pepperoni, and minced garlic from last summer’s porch garden.

Once the oven is hot slide the prepared tortilla pizza from a plate into the hot pan. Close the lid and wait for it to be done.

When it’s ready take out the pan — be sure to be careful. The oven got up to almost 300° F! Enjoy!
