I suggest serving these warm out of the oven, but you’ll be happy to know that the crispy tortilla bowls didn’t turn to mush after sitting for a couple hours in the fridge. They hold up very well and taste incredible straight from the fridge, cold, like leftover pizza! Have fun playing around with the toppings and mix-ins. Just like a regular pizza, it’s very versatile depending on what you have in your fridge. Feel free to use the loaded pizza sauce on a regular pizza too!

Ingredients:

For the loaded pizza sauce
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped sweet onion
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped cremini mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped red pepper
  • One (14-oz/400ml) can crushed tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 20 grams or 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • salt & pepper, to taste (I used about 1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt + some herbamare)
For the one-bite pizzas
  • large soft tortilla wraps (I used three 9-inch tortillas)
  • About 1 1/2 cups loaded pizza sauce or store-bought
  • Daiya cheese or homemade cheeze sauce

Directions:

  1. For the tortilla bowls: Preheat the oven to 375F and grab a mini cupcake tin or a regular sized tin. No need to grease it as they will pop right out.
  2. With a cookie cutter (or even kitchen sheers), cut 2.5-inch circles out of the wraps and push into the mini cupcake molds. Repeat for the rest & save the scraps for later.
  3. Toast at 375F for 10-12 minutes, watching very closely. They should be golden and crisp, but not too brown. If using regular-sized cupcake tins, cut your tortilla into quarters and push one into each mold. Cooking time may vary if using larger cupcake tins.
  4. For the sauce (skip if using store-bought): In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Now add in the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for a few minutes, reducing heat if necessary.
  5. Add in the chopped mushrooms and red pepper and sauté for another 8-10 minutes over medium heat.
  6. Now stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, along with the basil, oregano, and thyme. Reduce the sauce and simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. To assemble: Preheat your oven to the highest broil setting. Add a couple teaspoons of pizza sauce into the center of each bowl. Sprinkle with cheeze and place into the oven to broil on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheeze bubbles a bit. Watch very closely or it will burn. Serve warm!
