mini deep dish pizzas

Alright now, let's face it. Chicago has the BEST pizza in the entire world. Admit it. The deep dish is the way to go. Well, in Texas this is as good as it gets. Trust me, Peter Piper Pizza can not recreate such a magical dish. Neither can I, but here's a miniature version!

Ingredients:
3-4 whole wheat tortillas
1 (15 oz) can pizza sauce (you may have some left over)
3/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
mini pepperonis (and any other pizza toppings you would like to have)

Preheat oven to 375. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray. Use a cup or cookie cutter to press out 12 medium size circles in the wheat tortillas. Press each wheat circle into one of the muffin cups. It doesn't have to cover the entire side of the cup, just to fit snuggly. Pour pizza sauce in a medium size bowl. Add in parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder. Stir together. Drop about 1-2 tbsp into each wheat cup (depending on how much sauce you like). Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over each mini pizza. Top with pepperoni (and other toppings). Bake for 7-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and starting to brown. Let them cool for about 3 minutes and you should be able to pop them right out with a fork.
