Tortilla Pizza Rolls (Printable)

Golden tortilla pinwheels stuffed with gooey cheese and pepperoni, baked until crispy

# 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 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 the sauce, cheese, toppings, seasoning, and rolling process 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 Advice:

01 -
  • Every slice offers that perfect cheese pull moment that makes everyone at the table pause and smile.
  • You can prep a full batch in the time it takes to debate what to order for delivery.
  • Kids and adults fight over the last piece, which is the truest measure of success.
  • Freezing extras means you always have a backup plan when hunger strikes unexpectedly.
02 -
  • If the tortilla cracks when you roll it, warm it in the microwave for ten seconds to make it more pliable.
  • Don't overfill or the seams will burst open in the oven and all your cheese will escape onto the pan.
  • Let them cool for at least three minutes before slicing, or the molten cheese will ooze out and you'll lose half the filling.
03 -
  • Use a serrated 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 minute of baking, but watch them closely so they don't burn.
  • Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan on top right after they come out of the oven for an extra layer of flavor.
