Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 3

Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Top with 1/4 cup diced pepperoni, 1 tablespoon diced bell peppers, and 1 tablespoon black olives.

Step 4

Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and, if desired, red pepper flakes over the toppings.

Step 5

Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form a pinwheel shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.

Step 6

Repeat steps 2–5 for the remaining tortillas.

Step 7

Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil or cooking spray for a golden finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, until the tortilla pizza rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.

Recipe FAQ

→ Can I customize the fillings for these rolls?

Absolutely! This dish is highly adaptable. Feel free to substitute pepperoni with cooked sausage, ham, or even shredded chicken. For a vegetarian option, load up on mushrooms, spinach, corn, or different bell peppers. Experiment with various cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or a spicy pepper jack for a unique flavor twist.

→ What's the best way to ensure my rolls turn out golden and crispy?

To achieve that appealing golden-brown and crispy texture, ensure your oven is fully preheated to 400°F (200°C). Lightly brushing the tops of the rolled tortillas with a little olive oil or cooking spray before baking significantly helps. Also, baking them seam-side down prevents them from unraveling and promotes even browning.

→ Can these be made ahead of time or frozen?

Yes, you can certainly prepare these in advance. Assemble the rolls and place them on a baking sheet. You can either refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking, or freeze them. If freezing, place them on the baking sheet until solid, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding an extra 5-10 minutes to the cooking time.

→ What dipping sauces pair well with these savory bites?

For dipping, classic warm pizza sauce is always a winner. Other delicious options include marinara sauce, a tangy ranch dressing, a creamy garlic aioli, or even a spicy sriracha mayo if you prefer a bit of heat. A simple pesto or a balsamic glaze can also add an interesting flavor dimension.

→ How do I prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy?

To prevent sogginess, avoid over-saucing the tortillas; a thin, even layer is best. Also, ensure your toppings are not excessively wet. Pre-shredded mozzarella tends to have less moisture than fresh. Baking them until they are properly golden and the cheese is bubbly will also help evaporate excess moisture, resulting in a crispier texture.
