Taco Tuesday: Mini Tortilla Pizzas

Week #9: Mini Tortilla Pizzas

Ingredients:

3 flour tortillas
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 can pizza sauce
1 package mini pepperonis
1 package of pizza or mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)
garlic salt
round cutter (we used the lid from a bottle of cooking spray, it was perfect!  You could also use a clean empty can)
muffin tin

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
1. Cut 4 circles each, out of 3 tortillas (to fit the bottom of a muffin tin)
2. Brush butter on tortillas, sprinkle garlic salt on top of buttery side.
3. Place cut tortilla circles, butter side down, into 12 muffin holes.
4. Poke small holes in the tortillas.
5. Top tortilla rounds with pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni (and any other toppings you might like)
6. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes. 

(After out first batch, we wanted out crust a little more crispy, so we baked just the crust for five minutes, added the toppings, then baked for ten more minutes...perfect!)

We tried this recipe for the first time, on vacation in Branson.  Grampa found the recipe on Facebook, and thought they'd be fun to make with the grandkids.  It was an adventure, that's for sure.  These were tasty, indeed!

Cutting circles out of the tortillas

We had to push hard!

Kora ate butter.

Notice Kora and the butter...

Working together.  (We couldn't find mini pepperonis and had to rip ours up)

Apparently both of my kids work better if they stick their tongue out.

Who ever heard of too many cooks in the kitchen? We got this!

Kora put a giant handful of cheese, and filled the muffin cup to the top.  Grampa told her to put some of the cheese on the other pizzas, she ended up insisting that the whole pizza go on top of another one.  And that's how the double decker was invented!

This is Kora inventing the double decker pizza, I should have mentioned, in case you wanted to make them this way, that you first have to ball it up in your hand and destroy it, THEN you can put it on top of another one.  GENIUS! :)
