Tortilla Pizza Rolls (Printer-friendly)

Golden tortilla spirals stuffed with molten mozzarella, pepperoni, and zesty sauce for a crunchy, cheesy bite.

# What You'll Need:

→ Tortillas & Base

01 - 4 large flour tortillas
02 - Cooking spray or olive oil for brushing

→ Sauce & Cheese

03 - 1 cup pizza sauce
04 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Toppings

05 - 1 cup diced pepperoni
06 - 1/2 cup sliced black olives
07 - 1/2 cup diced bell peppers

→ Seasonings

08 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
10 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with cooking spray.
02 - Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
03 - 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.
04 - Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes over the toppings.
05 - Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form a pinwheel shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.
06 - Repeat the sauce, cheese, toppings, seasoning, and rolling process for the remaining 3 tortillas.
07 - 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.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tortilla pizza rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
09 - Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
10 - Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything you love about pizza, but faster and easier to share without the fuss of dough.
  • They bake up crispy on the outside while the cheese stays wonderfully gooey inside.
  • You can prep a whole batch, freeze them, and pull out a tray whenever hunger strikes.
  • Kids can build their own before you roll them, turning dinner into an activity.
02 -
  • If you overfill the tortilla, it will split open in the oven and leak cheese everywhere, so resist the urge to pile on too much.
  • Placing the rolls seam-side down is crucial because it keeps them sealed as the heat sets the tortilla.
  • Let them cool for at least three minutes before slicing or the molten cheese will burn your fingers and run out onto the cutting board.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the rolls cleanly and quickly without squishing the filling out.
  • If your tortillas are cold from the fridge, let them sit at room temperature for five minutes so they roll without tearing.
  • Brush the tops with garlic butter instead of plain oil for an extra layer of flavor that tastes like cheesy garlic bread.
