Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 8 9-Inch Flour Tortillas
Sauce and Cheese
- 1 jar Pizza Sauce (about 12–16 oz)
- 1 pound Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Toppings
- 16 ounce Smoked Deli Ham, diced into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 can Fresh Pineapple Chunks (about 20 oz), drained
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 390°F (195°C) to prepare for baking. This temperature ensures the tortillas become crispy and the cheese melts beautifully.
- Prepare the ham: Dice the 16 ounces of smoked deli ham into small 1/2-inch chunks for even distribution on the pizzas.
- Assemble the pizzas: Spread a heaped tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over each 9-inch flour tortilla, creating a flavorful base layer.
- Add the cheese: Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each tortilla. Reserve about half the cheese to use as a topping later.
- Top the pizzas: Distribute the diced ham and fresh pineapple chunks evenly across each tortilla. Finish by sprinkling the remaining mozzarella cheese on top, then dust with dried oregano for a fragrant, herbal touch.
- Bake the pizzas: Place the assembled pizzas on baking paper-lined trays. Bake in two batches of four pizzas each, for 8 to 10 minutes. The cheese should be melted and bubbling with golden, crispy tortilla edges.
- Serve immediately: Once baked, enjoy your quick Hawaiian pizzas hot and fresh from the oven for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can use any type of pizza sauce you prefer, such as spicy or garlic-flavored, to customize the taste.
- For a crispier base, consider pre-baking the tortillas for 2 minutes before adding toppings.
- If you don’t have fresh pineapple chunks, canned pineapple drained well works perfectly.
- Feel free to add extra herbs like basil or red pepper flakes for more flavor.
- Leftover pizzas can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the oven for a few minutes to crisp up the base again.
