    Easy Mini Pizza snack  via @barbarabakes

    This Easy Mini Pizza Recipe is a perfect back to school snack. When the kids come home after school, they’re usually hungry. This quick and easy mini pizza snack is the perfect way to fuel your kids and keep them satisfied until dinner.

    I’ve teamed up with Cache Valley Creamery for today’s recipe. Cache Valley Creamery has been offering delicious cheese and butter for over 75 years to families in Utah and the surrounding areas. These Easy Mini Pizzas are made with wholesome Cache Valley Creamery Shredded Mozzarella & Provolone Cheese.

    Making Easy Mini Pizzas

    The secret to this Easy Mini Pizza recipe is using small street taco flour tortillas as the pizza crust. These cute little tortillas are only about 4-inches wide and crisp up when baked.

    You can use your favorite brand of jarred pizza sauce, but I prefer to make my own. I’ve included my Easy-To-Make Pizza Sauce recipe below, but either way works great.

    Next you need a great cheese to put on top of the sauce. I love Cache Valley Creamery Cheese and their Shredded Mozzarella & Provolone Cheese is perfect for pizza. One eight ounce package is enough cheese to top 12 mini pizzas.

    Cache Valley Creamery cheese and butter products are sold at retailers throughout Utah, including Walmart, Smith’s, Macey’s, Fresh Market, and Harmon’s – as well as other independent stores.

    I bought mini pepperonis and a little chopped fresh basil to finish off the pizzas, but you can top the mini pizzas any way you like. In fact, I recommend letting the kids help you make their own mini pizza just the way they like them. Kids love helping in the kitchen.

    It would be fun to change them up and make Mini Taco Pizzas as well. You could spread them with refried beans or taco meat and top them with some Cache Valley Creamery Four Cheese Mexican Shredded Cheese. The possibilities are endless!

    I baked these in the oven, but you can use a toaster oven if you’re just making a couple of mini pizzas. You want the crust to be lightly browned and crisp and the cheese to be melted and ooey gooey delicious.

    My husband, son and his girlfriend were my taste tasters when I made these and they gave them a thumbs up and said they tasted like regular pizza. I agree that it’s a fun, shortcut way to make a delicious, cheesy pizza!

    CACHE VALLEY CREAMERY AND REAL SALT LAKE SOCCER

    Cache Valley Creamery has teamed up with Real Salt Lake (RSL), Utah’s Major League Soccer team, for the third year in a row as an Official Sponsor for the 2019 season.

    If you’re a soccer fan and you live in the Salt Lake area, be sure to check out Carnival Real before the September 11, 2019 game and stop by the Cache Valley Creamery booth at the Mini Foot-Golf Course (outside Rio Tinto Stadium), where fans can sample delicious Cache Valley Creamery String Cheese and spin the Cache Valley Creamery Cheese Wheel for a chance to win fun prizes.

    Fans can also purchase melt-in-your-mouth grilled cheese made with Cache Valley Creamery Naturals Slices at the Royal Grilled Cheese Cart on the Rio Tinto Stadium concourse during regular season home games all season long.

      There is no mention in the ingredients list of how many tortillas or the size they should be. This could be a problem for someone that’s never made these little pizzas before.

        Hi Rebecca – I mention in the post that they’re 4-inches wide and that there were 12 servings, but I updated the recipe card to make the directions more clear. Thanks!

      Mini bar pies! I would never have thought to make these in the oven. They look great, and much more manageable than the regular size.
