How to make a pizza crust with folio cheese tortilla
Folios Cheese Wraps are a versatile product with many possible applications. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make a pizza crust with a folio cheese tortilla:
Firstly, you will need to gather the necessary ingredients and equipment. For this recipe, you will need a folio cheese wrap, your desired pizza toppings, an oven, and a microwave. You can purchase Folios Cheese Wraps in retailers nationwide, including supermarkets, Costco, and Amazon. They are available in Parmesan, Cheddar, Jarlsberg, and Mozzarella.
Before you begin, preheat your oven to 400°F. Now, take your folio cheese wrap and place it in the microwave on a microwavable plate. Microwave the wrap for approximately one minute, or until it becomes crispy and takes on the texture of a tortilla. It is important not to overcook the wrap, as it may burn or become too crispy to shape.
Once the wrap is crispy, remove it from the microwave and place it on a flat surface. You may wish to place it on a sheet of parchment paper to avoid mess. Spread your chosen pizza sauce over the wrap, ensuring it is evenly coated. Then, sprinkle your chosen toppings over the sauce. You may wish to add cheese at this stage, or you can add it later.
Finally, place your pizza in the oven and cook until the cheese is melted. This should take around two to five minutes, depending on your chosen toppings and the amount of cheese. Once the cheese is melted, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
And there you have it! A delicious, low-carb, gluten-free pizza with a folio cheese tortilla crust. Enjoy!

How to make a taco shell with folio cheese tortilla
Folios Cheese Wraps® can be used as a taco "cheese" shell. To make a cheese taco shell, you will need two slices of cheese per wrap. Place a single slice of cheese in the centre of a folded sheet of parchment paper. Next, fold the second slice of cheese into four equal-sized strips and place them around the first slice.
Microwave the parchment paper with the cheese slices for exactly 15 seconds. The cheese should be warm and slightly melted, but not too hot. Remove the paper from the microwave, and use a rolling pin to spread out the cheese into a thin circle, or tortilla shape. You can also use your hands to smooth it out. If you want to use the wrap immediately, cool it in the freezer for a few minutes.
To turn the folio cheese tortilla into a taco shell, drape the wrap over a spatula or wooden spoon handle, so it is hanging upside down. You can also use two jars, glasses, or cans to balance the spatula or spoon. This will give the wrap its taco shell shape.
You can also use a grill or skillet to make the cheese crispy and form a shell. Spread shredded cheese into a circle on a preheated skillet and let it cook until it is melty and golden brown. You can also brush the folio cheese tortilla with a little canola oil and cook it on a grill for a few minutes on each side.
