Description

Tortilla Pizza Rolls combine the crispiness of tortillas with the classic flavors of pizza, creating a perfect snack or appetizer. These easy-to-make pinwheels feature a layer of savory pizza sauce, melted mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and colorful bell peppers, rolled up and baked until golden and bubbly. Ideal for quick lunches, parties, or meal prep, they offer a versatile and delicious twist on traditional pizza with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Base

  • 4 large flour tortillas

Sauce and Cheese

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices or diced cooked ham
  • 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Finishing

  • Olive oil for brushing
  • Optional: grated parmesan cheese
  • Optional: red pepper flakes
  • Optional: fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
  2. Prepare the tortillas: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce over each tortilla to ensure every bite is flavorful.
  3. Add cheese and toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce, then distribute pepperoni slices or diced cooked ham along with chopped bell peppers. Finish by sprinkling dried oregano to enhance the pizza flavor profile.
  4. Roll and slice: Carefully roll each tortilla into a tight log so the toppings stay inside. Using a sharp knife, slice each log into approximately 1-inch thick rolls to create bite-sized pinwheels.
  5. Arrange and brush: Place the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil to help them crisp and brown nicely.
  6. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish and serve: Optionally, sprinkle grated parmesan, red pepper flakes, or fresh basil on top to add extra flavor and color. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas as alternatives to suit dietary needs.
  • Customize toppings by adding mushrooms, olives, or any preferred pizza ingredients.
  • For a spicier version, add sliced jalapeños or chili flakes inside before rolling.
  • These rolls can be prepared ahead and stored unbaked in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven for best results rather than the microwave to retain crispiness.
