Mini Deep Dish Pizzas

Hate to say it again but these were inspired by a recipe I found on Pinterest.  I modified the recipe and mine is even easier then the original.  These would be an easy after school snack but they worked well for dinner served with a salad.

3 - 4 tortillas, any flavor, it's your choice
Pizza sauce, I had 9 oz. and they were pretty saucy
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Pepperoni, she used mini but I only had pepperonis that were so large I had to cut them into 1/8s


Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 12 count muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Start by laying each tortilla out individually on a flat surface, and use an empty can, cup, or cookie cutter to cut 3-4 medium circles out of each tortilla. Press firmly enough, using a rocking motion, until it cuts through the tortilla.

Press each wrap circle into muffin tin using your fingers. Note: it doesn’t have to cover the entire side of the tin, it should just fit snuggly!

Pour pizza sauce into a bowl, stir in the Parmesan cheese. Drop about 1-2 tbs of sauce in each tortilla, this really varies according to how much sauce you like! Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over each mini pizza. Place pepperoni on top of each pizza.

Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lightly browned. Wait for pizzas to cool, and remove from muffin tin using a fork or knife. Pizza’s should pop out with ease!
