As you probably know, I love using low carb tortillas in as many ways as I can! Once you've found a brand that you like (see my tortilla comparison if you haven't!), then you can turn them into chips, nachos, taco shells, and more!

My current favorite is Mission fajita size - and recently I decided to make them into little low carb pizza bites! They're filled with tomato, pepperoni, and cheese - although I appreciate that in the final photos you can't see the pepperoni as I buried it in cheese - but it's there!

How to Make Low Carb Pizza Bites

A 12-hole muffin pan is essential for these, otherwise they're going to get messy. I used 3" and 3¼" cookie cutters, and managed (just!) to get three rounds out of each 6" tortilla. By the way - don't discard the off cuts - just trim them up and make them into homemade tortilla chips!

Once the circles have been cut, spray the pan with some non-stick spray and press each tortilla circle into the cups.

Mix together some canned tomato sauce with Italian seasoning, then spoon a tablespoon of the sauce into each tortilla cup.

Slice some pepperoni into quarters (or you can omit this for a vegetarian version), then divide between the pizza bites.

And finally, top with shredded mozzarella!

Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the tortillas are crisp at the edges, and the cheese has melted and started to brown.

Leave for 10 minutes before serving - otherwise the sauce will be way too hot!
