Mini Deep Dish Pizzas

Growing up, my family would get pizza most Friday nights. None of us could resist just one more slice until the box was empty.  Twenty years later, I'm still the same way. I just can't say no to just one more slice of ooey gooey pizza pie.  

That's why these little guys are perfect, they're built in portion control!  

Unlike frozen mini pizzas, these are just as satisfying as the same thing... and ALMOST as easy as microwaving a frozen one.  

What I really love about these is that you can personalize each one.  You can put just about anything in each one in any combination.  The options are endless! We put turkey pepperoni, onion and olives in ours, I'm angling for my favorite- sausage, mushroom, green pepper, and onion next time.  

Preheat oven to 425.


Here's what you need:

Take a large can and press firmly and twist down on the tortillas or wraps to get your pizza circles.

Chop all your toppings and set aside.

Mix your cheese and spices into the sauce.

Heat your tortilla circles in the microwave for 25 seconds to make them pliable so they won't tear when putting in the pan.  Gently place your circles into a cupcake pan.

Fill each shell with a spoonful of sauce.

Next top with cheese.

Fill with your favorite toppings.

Top with more cheese and bake for 12 - 15 minutes.

Let rest for 10 minutes and enjoy!  The resting is important or you'll burn your tongue!
