Ingredients

  • 8 9-inch flour tortillas
  • 1 jar pizza sauce
  • 1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 16 ounces smoked deli ham
  • 1 can fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 390°F (195°C). Dice the smoked deli ham into 1/2-inch chunks for easy topping.
  2. Step 2: Spread a heaping tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over each flour tortilla.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle a base layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce on each tortilla, reserving half of the cheese for later.
  4. Step 4: Add the diced ham and pineapple chunks evenly over each tortilla. Then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top, followed by a light sprinkle of dried oregano.
  5. Step 5: Place the pizzas on baking paper-lined trays and bake in two batches (four pizzas per batch) for 8 to 10 minutes. The cheese should be melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas golden and crispy.
  6. Step 6: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and fresh.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or swap ham for cooked bacon or Canadian bacon.
  • Use a gluten-free tortilla if you prefer a gluten-free version.
  • Try adding thinly sliced red onions or bell peppers for more texture and taste.
  • To keep tortillas crispy, avoid adding too much sauce or pineapple juice.

Storage

Store any leftover pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 7 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving if possible, as the tortillas may become soggy.

How to Serve

The image shows a thin-crust pizza on a white plate, with one slice slightly pulled away revealing stretchy melted cheese. The pizza has a crust that is light brown and crispy, with a red tomato sauce base spread evenly across it. On top, there are layers of melted white cheese, scattered small cubes of pink ham, and yellow pineapple chunks. Black pepper and herbs are sprinkled over the toppings, adding texture and color contrast. Around the main plate, there are two more similar pizzas on parchment paper placed directly on a white marbled surface. Nearby, a glass container with olive oil and two glass shakers with metal tops sit on the white marbled background, along with a pizza cutter and a white towel with red stripes. The scene is well-lit, casting natural light that highlights the textures of the crust and toppings. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
