Ingredients:
- Burrito-sized tortillas
- Pizza sauce
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Pizza toppings of your choice (pepperoni, cooked Italian sausage, diced onions, bell peppers, jalapeños, etc.)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will ensure the tortillas get nice and crispy while the cheese melts perfectly.
2. Prepare the Tortilla Pizza Bites
Use a biscuit cutter to cut small circles from the burrito-sized tortillas. If you don’t have a biscuit cutter, a glass with a wide mouth will work just as well. Lightly spray or grease a muffin pan, then place a tortilla circle in each muffin cup. Press down slightly to form a base for your mini pizzas.
Tip: The muffin pan helps the tortilla circles hold their shape, creating a sturdy base for the sauce and toppings.
3. Assemble the Pizzas
Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each tortilla circle, spreading it evenly but not all the way to the edges. Sprinkle a little shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add your desired toppings on top of the cheese. Remember, a little goes a long way—be careful not to overfill, as the toppings can spill over as they bake.
4. Bake
Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the tortillas are golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn!
5. Serve
Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the pizza bites cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Serve warm, and enjoy your bite-sized tortilla pizzas!
