Pizza is hands down my favorite food + biggest weakness. 

I’ve found ways to make this dish lighter, like this roasted veggie flatbread pizza and even a skinny breakfast (!!) pizza, so I thought using similar “flatbread” material would allow for a lower calorie + lower carb Super Bowl treat while still having that staple pizza flavor.

I love recipes that are customizable to specific taste buds + also those with a smaller ingredient list, and this low carb recipe falls in to both categories!

By using tortillas, they give that crunch of a crispy pizza, but at a fraction of the calories! That’s a win/win in my book. 🙂

These pizza cups take only about 20 minutes to make, so they are perfect for a quick dish to bring along with you to a party or tailgate. Whenever I host parties like these, or even attend ones, I like to have a nice spread with lots of different options. One huge thing I love about these pizza cups is that they’re completely custom to what you like! 2 tortillas make 12 cups, so you can easily mix and match with your favorite toppings or even create a topping bar to let your guests make the pizza that they love!

Pizza topping bar ideas:

• Pepperoni
• Sliced pineapple
• Caramelized onions + mushrooms
• Cooked sausage
• Green peppers
• Banana peppers

The list can go on and on! 🙂
