INGREDIENTS
-
1 Large Flour Tortilla (acts as our pizza base)
-
2–3 Tablespoons Pizza Sauce (your favorite kind—store-bought or homemade)
-
½ Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (feel free to add a little extra if you’re a cheese lover)
-
5–10 Pepperoni Slices (or substitute with your favorite toppings)
-
Optional Garnishes: Fresh basil leaves, red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of olive oil
EQUIPMENT
- Baking sheet or pizza stone
- Parchment paper (optional, for easier clean-up)
- Mom Scissors
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat and Prep
-
Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s ready for your tortilla pizza.
-
Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet (or pizza stone) with parchment paper. This will help keep your tortilla crisp and make cleanup a breeze.
2. Assemble the Pizza
-
Place the Tortilla: Lay the flour tortilla flat on your prepared baking sheet. Cut it into a heart shape using your Mom Scissors.
-
Spread the Sauce: Using the back of a spoon, spread the pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla.
-
Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauced tortilla. This not only provides a gooey texture but also helps the pepperoni stick in place.
-
Top with Pepperoni: Cut pepperoni slices into small hearts and arrange them on top of the cheese. You can get creative with your design—try overlapping them to fill the surface or lay them out in a pattern that makes your heart design pop later.
3. Bake to Perfection
-
Bake the Pizza: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and just starting to turn golden, and the tortilla edges are crisp.

4. Get Ready to Eat
-
Cut the Pizza: Carefully cut up your pizza into bite sized pieces for the kids, the younger they are, the smaller you should cut the pieces.
-
Enjoy: Your heart-shaped tortilla pizza is now ready to be enjoyed! Whether it’s a fun treat for a family movie night, a creative twist for a special date, or a playful snack made with love, this recipe is sure to put a smile on everyone’s face. Serve warm and enjoy every cheesy, saucy bite.
Note: Always be careful when using scissors in the kitchen. Ensure that the scissors are clean and that you’re using them safely, especially if little ones are around.
Happy cooking and enjoy your heart-shaped creation!
