# Ingredient list:

→ 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

# Step-by-step guide:

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 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 steps 2 through 5 for the remaining three 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 -
  • They bake up crispy on the outside while staying gooey and cheesy inside, giving you the best of both textures in one bite.
  • You can prep a whole tray in under ten minutes, making them perfect for those nights when you need dinner done before the chaos begins.
  • Everyone gets to customize their own roll with exactly the toppings they want, which means no more pizza topping negotiations.
02 -
  • If your tortillas are cold from the fridge, let them sit out for a few minutes or warm them slightly in the microwave so they don't crack when you roll.
  • Don't skip brushing the tops with oil, it's the secret to getting that bakery-style golden crust instead of a pale, soft finish.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the rolls cleanly without squishing all the filling out the sides.
  • If you want extra crispy edges, place the rolls on a wire rack set over the baking sheet so air circulates all around them.
