Ingredients
  

4 small flour tortillas

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (any color you prefer)

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup cooked spinach, drained and roughly chopped

1/4 cup black olives, sliced

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive oil spray or a small amount of olive oil for greasing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare Tortilla Circles: Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut each tortilla into smaller circles, aiming for segments about 4 inches in diameter. Each tortilla should yield approximately 3-4 circles.

      Shape the Tortilla Cups: Generously grease a muffin tin using olive oil spray or brush a light layer of olive oil into each cup. Press each tortilla circle into the muffin cups, shaping them gently to create a cup form.

        Add a Cheesy Base: Sprinkle a small layer of shredded mozzarella cheese at the bottom of each tortilla cup for added flavor and helps prevent sogginess.

          Load Up with Vegetables: Evenly distribute the halved cherry tomatoes, diced bell peppers, finely chopped red onion, cooked spinach, and sliced black olives into each tortilla cup, ensuring a colorful mix.

            Seasoning Bliss: Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the veggie mixture in each cup. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese for that irresistible gooey finish.

              Bake to Perfection: Carefully place the muffin tin in your preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges of the tortilla cups are lightly golden brown.

                Cool and Remove: After baking, take the muffin tin out of the oven and let the cups cool for a few minutes. Gently use a butter knife or a spoon to lift each tortilla cup out of the tin without tearing.

                  Optional Garnish: For an elevated presentation, consider garnishing the tortilla cups with fresh basil leaves or a dash of crushed red pepper flakes just before serving.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Present these warm and delightful mini veggie pizza cups as a tasty appetizer or snack, perfect for sharing!
