Celebrating Valentines Day with kids? How about making this easy Valentines lunch idea - heart shaped tortilla pizzas!
I have been having so much fun getting ready for Valentine's Day with my kids.
It's not the kind of holiday that I ever really celebrated before, but my kids get so excited about everything. They started asking me on January 2 when Valentines would be here!
One of the easiest ways to feel like you were in a holiday spirit is to cook simple recipes with that theme.
Tortilla pizzas are a go to low effort lunch around here. So, I decided to whip up a heart shaped version.
Here's how easy there to make – and customize – even for the pickiest kiddo.
How to make Heart Shaped Tortilla Pizzas!
These mini pizzas are super easy to make using cookie cutters!
The best heart shaped cookie cutters:
You can use any heart cookie cutters or freehand these using kitchen scissors. Try fitting multiple hearts to minimize waste!
I saved my tortilla scraps to make crispy strips for salads and burrito bowls! Nothing goes to waste around here.
The best tortilla pizza toppings
My kids like to keep it simple with cheese, but you can also add:
- mini pepperonis
- olives
- thinly sliced peppers
- pre-cooked meat
- tomatoes, diced
- fresh basil - add AFTER baking!
