Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Hawaiian
Serves: 2 pizzas
Ingredients
- 2 large tortillas
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup diced ham
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your pizzas cook evenly and become crispy.
- Gather all your ingredients: large tortillas, pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, diced ham, crumbled bacon, pineapple chunks, and dried oregano.
- On a clean surface, lay out the two large tortillas. These will serve as the base for your Hawaiian tortilla pizzas.
- Using a spoon, spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges for a crust.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each tortilla, ensuring even coverage for a cheesy, melty texture.
- Distribute 1/4 cup of diced ham evenly on top of the cheese on each tortilla.
- Next, add 1/4 cup of crumbled bacon on top of the ham for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
- Evenly distribute 1/4 cup of pineapple chunks over each pizza, adding a sweet and tropical touch to your dish.
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano over each pizza for a hint of herby flavor.
- Carefully transfer the prepared tortillas onto a baking sheet. If desired, you can line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two before slicing.
- Cut each pizza into wedges and serve hot, garnished with additional oregano if desired.
Tips
- Crispy Base: For an extra crispy crust, consider pre-baking the tortillas for 3-5 minutes before adding the toppings. This will help prevent them from getting soggy.
- Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Adding a blend of mozzarella and cheddar can enhance the flavor profile of your pizza.
- Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh pineapple instead of canned can elevate the taste and add a vibrant freshness to your dish.
- Bacon Lovers: If you're a bacon enthusiast, try adding more crumbled bacon or even using flavored bacon for an extra kick.
- Herb Enhancements: Don’t be shy with the oregano! Fresh oregano can add a delightful aroma and taste, so sprinkle some on before serving for an added touch.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your Hawaiian tortilla pizza with a refreshing salad or a tropical fruit platter to round out the meal and balance the flavors.
- Leftover Magic: If you have leftover ingredients, mix and match them on a new tortilla for a unique pizza creation the next day!
