Mini Deep Dich Pizzas

  My kids love pizza and so do Ryan and I.  We all LOVE pizza.  Who doesn't.  I decided that we would make Friday's pizza nights, and we can have a different pizza recipe each week.  I will be honest, I wasn't really expecting much from these little tortilla pizzas.  I mean, the crust is a tortilla how good can they be.  I thought  that they looked cute and that the kids would enjoy putting their own toppings on their little mini pizzas, but besides that I didn't think that they would be that wonderful.   Well, I was wrong.  These were delicious.  Everyone ate them up and we ended up having to make more.  The kids had pepperoni and olives on theirs, but Ryan and I did peppers, mushrooms, olives, and pepperoni.  These will definitely be a frequent on our Friday pizza nights!
 Mini Deep Dish Pizzas
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 12 count muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
2.  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 wrap. I used the empty pizza sauce can, which worked well! Press firmly enough, using a rocking motion, until it cuts through the wrap. deepdish-1
3.  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! deepdish-2
4.  Meanwhile, pour pizza sauce, parmesan cheese, and the spices into a medium sized bowl. Stir until everything is well combined.
5.  Drop about 1-2 tbs of sauce in each wrap, this really varies according to how much sauce you like! deepdish-3
6.  Divide mozzarella cheese evenly over each mini pizza. deepdish-4
7.  Place 4 mini pepperoni’s on top of each pizza. deepdish-5
8.  Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
9. Wait for pizzas to cool, and remove from muffin tin using a fork or knife. Pizza’s should pop out with ease! deepdish-6
10.  Serve warm and enjoy!
