How to Make Step-by-Step
Step 1: Prepare tortillas
Cut each tortilla into 2 large triangles with a pizza cutter. These will form the “witch hats.”
Step 2: Assemble hats
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each triangle. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar evenly, then add a slice of pepperoni.
Step 3: Bake until golden
Place triangles on a lined baking sheet. Brush edges lightly with olive oil, sprinkle Italian seasoning, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are crispy.
Step 4: Decorate spooky details
Add diced black olives near the edges to mimic hat “buckles.” Let cool slightly before serving.
