Instructions
-
Prepare the pizza sauce
Drain the whole tomatoes well, then blend them with minced garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. -
Preheat your oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. -
Cut the tortillas
Slice each 10-inch flour tortilla into quarters, giving you 12 mini pizza bases in total. -
Brush tortillas with olive oil
Using a pastry brush, lightly coat both sides of each tortilla quarter with olive oil. This helps them crisp up nicely in the oven. -
Add cheese slices
Tear the mozzarella and cheddar cheese slices into small pieces and distribute them evenly across each tortilla quarter to form a cheese base. -
Spread pizza sauce
Spoon a small amount of the prepared pizza sauce over the cheese layer on each mini pizza, spreading gently but leaving a small border. -
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella
Add shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce for an extra cheesy layer that melts beautifully. -
Create spooky olive eyes
Cut black olives into rings and place two rings on each pizza to resemble eyes. For added effect, you can place a small dot of cheddar or mozzarella inside each olive ring to mimic pupils. -
Bake the pizzas
Arrange the mini pizzas on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tortilla edges are crispy and golden. -
Cool slightly and serve
Remove the pizzas from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. These mini pizzas are best enjoyed warm.
Notes
To avoid soggy tortillas, ensure they are well brushed with oil and avoid overloading with sauce.
Feel free to use store-bought pizza sauce for convenience, but homemade sauce gives a fresher taste.
Customize your pizzas by adding other toppings like diced bell peppers or cooked sausage to suit your preferences.
