Tortilla Pizza Rolls (Printer View)

Enjoy golden-baked tortillas bursting with molten mozzarella, zesty tomato sauce, and pepperoni for a satisfying crunch and gooey cheese pull.

# What you'll need:

→ Tortillas & Base

01 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)
02 - Cooking spray or 2 tablespoons olive oil for brushing

→ Sauce & Cheese

03 - 1 cup pizza sauce
04 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)

→ Toppings

05 - 1 cup diced pepperoni (4 ounces)
06 - 1/2 cup sliced black olives
07 - 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)

→ Seasonings

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

# Method:

01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease 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.
04 - Top with 1/4 cup diced pepperoni, 1 tablespoon diced bell peppers, and 1 tablespoon black olives. Sprinkle with a pinch of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using.
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 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 5 minutes. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
10 - Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in under 20 minutes but taste like they took way more effort
  • The cheese pull alone is worth the preheating wait
  • Perfect for feeding a crowd without spending hours at the stove
02 -
  • Rolling too loosely makes them fall apart during baking, so use a firm hand when shaping
  • The olive oil brush is optional but it creates that restaurant-style golden finish
03 -
  • Let the baked rolls rest for at least five minutes before slicing, otherwise the cheese escapes everywhere
  • Use a sharp serrated knife and saw gently instead of pressing down to keep the spiral shape intact
