Instructions

Prepare Sauce (Optional): In a bowl, mash the drained whole tomatoes with minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, white wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create a quick tomato sauce. Alternatively, you can skip this step and use 1/4 cup of store-bought pizza sauce for convenience.
Prepare Tortilla Bases: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut 3-4 inch circles from the flour tortillas. Lightly brush each tortilla circle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil to ensure a crispy base.
Assemble Pizzas: Spread a thin layer of the prepared tomato sauce or store-bought pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla circle, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle each base with shredded mozzarella cheese to add gooey texture.
Create Designs: Cut the mozzarella and cheddar slices into spooky Halloween shapes such as ghosts, mummy strips, or jack-o’-lantern faces. Use sliced black olives for eyes, spider bodies, or other decorative details. Arrange these toppings creatively on top of each assembled pizza.
Bake: Transfer the assembled mini pizzas carefully onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the tortilla crusts turn golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted. If using multiple baking sheets, rotate them halfway through baking for even cooking.
Serve: Once baked, remove the mini pizzas from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm to enjoy your spooky, delicious creations!

Notes

Using store-bought pizza sauce can save preparation time and still yield delicious results.
Feel free to get creative with toppings; other vegetables or meats can be added as desired.
To make the tortillas crispier, brush with olive oil before baking.
These mini pizzas are perfect for kids and can be a fun way to involve them in meal preparation.
Use a sharp knife or small cookie cutters to create detailed and fun Halloween shapes from the cheese slices.
