One of my staple go to meals when I need a quick lunch or dinner is a corn tortilla pizza. I usually just add whatever i have lying around the house to it, which usually means some form of spinach and artichoke. I decided to try four different takes on the pizza for lunch one week and make it into a post to share my results. It was an experiment in deliciousness.
As you know I have a buffalo flavor addiction. I decided to make one of the pies a buffalo chicken pizza. My go to pizza, but I never get to order it because no one likes it is a Hawaiian pizza. I just love the ham and pineapple together! I decided to make a version of my usual standby with whatever I had laying around. I needed a fourth. I decided to go BBQ, because well, why not?
I ended up liking the BBQ one the best! I think it is probably because of the sauce. I cannot rave about my favorite Cajun BBQ sauce, Pig Stand, enough. It is so tangy and different, worth trying via the Internets (this is also a good brand) for sure. I made these the night before and then reheated in the toaster oven at work. I am sure they are still good in the microwave, but the toaster oven really is the best way to make them not taste-well-leftover!
What is your favorite pizza combination? Have you made these before? If not try it, a very healthy alternative for pizza cravings! Full recipe to follow the montage!

| This is the traditional one. It was the only one that cooperated for a close up. |
 |
| My random cast of characters. Does not include everything. Will tell all below. |
 |
| Ham, pineapple and jalapeno. Who doesn't want that on a pizza?! |
 |
| First you sauce. Make sure it is lightly. |
 |
| Add on your toppings. Cheese goes last! |
 |
| Bake it up until it looks ready. On second thought, this needed more browning. |
 |
| Next comes the "traditional" aka clean out the fridge pizza. |
 |
| Perfect browning on the cheese! |
 |
| I did not make enough chicken. Next time I will make two pieces! |
 |
| Toss the chicken in buffalo sauce. I did tiny dice celery and carrots so they would not overpower. |
 |
| The base of this one is buffalo ranch. |
 |
| I don't know how I did not get prep pictures, but here is the BBQ chicken. Just shallots and chicken. |
