A super simple lunch, that is so fast to assemble and cook! These mini tortilla pizza snacks are a hit with the whole family!
Pull a quick meal together and feed hungry people at the drop of a hat. Easy ingredients, and super yummy, this will be a favorite.
My family loves pizza, but I don’t always have the time to make regular pizza from scratch. Instead, I make these yummy little pizzas whenever we need a fix!
Now we are currently in school (albeit online), I need really quick lunches that I can pull together while still supervising my kids as they complete their work. We have 30 minutes of lunch time, so these have to be ready to go as soon as they are!
This easy recipe is perfect for an after school snack, or quick lunch. The crispy crusts are addictive, and definitely scratch that pizza itch.
Everyone can make their own and add their favorite pizza toppings and be as creative or weird as they want!
I like to set out the muffin pans and several ingredients (aka leftovers) on the counter and let everyone make their own row of pizzas. I find when I let them make their own, they actually bother to eat their lunch.
Need another idea? Turkey Club Wraps (with Bacon) – delicious and easy to make. They’re the perfect take-along when heading out and about.
Why this recipe works
- You can prep ahead for lunch. Cut the tortillas out and prep the other ingredients ready to go at lunchtime. A great idea is to make and bake them ahead and just reheat them in the oven or toaster oven.
- A quick and easy recipe that you can pull together on a whim.
- Small ingredient list. Nothing fancy, just food you probably already have on hand.
Kylee’s Notes & FAQs
What to do with leftovers
If you HAVE leftovers, store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven until crispy and bubbly. This recipe can also be frozen!
The Crusts
I cut them out using a biscuit cutter, but you could use a (clean) empty can if need be. Since we use flour tortillas for this, this recipe is not gluten-free. It absolutely could be if you switched them out for corn tortillas.
Pizza Sauce
Try marinara, tomato sauce, bbq sauce, alfredo sauce or pesto
Topping ideas:
- Mini pepperoni.
- Ham & pineapple
- Diced peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms, anchovies, blue cheese, bacon, sausage, meatballs.
- Leftover chicken (great with pesto base)
- After cooking, a sprinkle of fresh basil, oregano, cilantro and a little parmesan cheese is awesome too!

Get prepped
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees
- Using a biscuit cutter or a clean and empty can, cut out rounds of flour tortillas. Place them in a lightly greased muffin pan.

- Add cheese (I like mozzarella cheese, as well as parmesan and pepper jack depending on the day)
- Add your favorite toppings.
Bake and eat
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes (or until the edges get brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly).
- Remove from the oven, and cool slightly.
- Devour.

So, I had friends pop in for a catch up and I made these little darlings to serve. They are so easy to make and even easier to eat. Made 24 and there are none left. What does that tell you? Thanks for the inspiration.
