# 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, any color

→ Seasonings

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

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with cooking spray.
02 - Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce evenly across 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 if desired over the toppings.
05 - Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form a pinwheel shape, ensuring the filling stays contained inside.
06 - Repeat the sauce application, topping, seasoning, and rolling 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 Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in under 40 minutes with ingredients you probably already have stashed in your fridge.
  • One batch makes enough to feed a crowd or stash extras in the freezer for desperate moments.
  • The contrast between that golden-crispy tortilla shell and the molten cheese pull is genuinely addictive.
02 -
  • Don't skimp on the oil brushing step, because that's literally what creates the golden exterior that makes these special.
  • If the filling starts leaking out while you're rolling, you've probably overstuffed it; less is actually more when you're learning.
  • Freezing unbaked rolls works brilliantly, but add three to five minutes to the bake time straight from the freezer.
03 -
  • Keep extra pizza sauce nearby for both dipping and any emergency filling adjustments mid-roll.
  • If you're batch cooking, assemble all four rolls before starting to bake so you can work methodically without feeling rushed.
  • A thin, sharp knife slices through the cooled rolls cleanly without squishing them or losing toppings.
