# What's Needed:

→ 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

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 grease with cooking spray.
02 - Lay one tortilla flat on a clean work 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 filling remains inside.
06 - Repeat preparation steps for the remaining three tortillas.
07 - Place 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 preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until tortilla pizza rolls are golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
09 - Remove from 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 Advice:

01 -
  • Every bite gives you that perfect cheese pull without the mess of a whole pizza slice.
  • You can prep a dozen, freeze them, and pull out exactly what you need on a whim.
  • They taste like indulgence but come together faster than ordering takeout.
  • Kids and adults both fight over the last piece, which means fewer leftovers to deal with.
02 -
  • If your tortilla cracks while rolling, it's too cold or too dry, so let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes or warm it briefly in the microwave.
  • Don't skip the seam-side down placement, or the rolls will unravel and spill cheese all over the pan.
  • Freezing unbaked rolls works beautifully, but add five extra minutes to the bake time and don't thaw them first.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the rolls cleanly without squishing the filling out the sides.
  • If you want extra crispy edges, broil the rolls for the last minute of baking, but watch them closely so they don't burn.
  • Make a double batch and freeze half unbaked so you always have a quick snack or meal ready to go.
