# 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

# Step-by-Step Directions:

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 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 preparation steps 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 Suggestions:

01 -
  • They bake faster than traditional pizza and give you that same cheesy, crispy satisfaction without waiting for dough to rise.
  • Every slice reveals a perfect swirl of sauce, cheese, and toppings that stays put instead of sliding off.
  • Theyre endlessly customizable, so picky eaters can build exactly what they want before you roll and bake.
02 -
  • If your tortillas crack when you roll them, microwave them for ten seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel to make them more pliable.
  • Dont skip the seam-side down placement on the baking sheet or theyll unravel halfway through baking and leave you with a cheesy mess.
  • Let them cool for at least five minutes before slicing, or the molten cheese will run everywhere and the structure will collapse.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter instead of a knife to slice the rolls cleanly without squishing the filling out the sides.
  • If you want extra crispy edges, broil the rolls for the last two minutes of baking, watching closely so they dont burn.
  • Lightly toast the tortillas in a dry skillet for thirty seconds per side before assembling to add an extra layer of crunch and prevent sogginess.
