# What You 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 Steps:

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 work surface. Spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce evenly across 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 from one end to the other to form a pinwheel shape, ensuring the filling remains contained within.
06 - Repeat steps 2 through 5 with the remaining three tortillas.
07 - Place rolled tortillas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush tops with olive oil or cooking spray to achieve a golden finish.
08 - Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until tortilla rolls are golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
09 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for several minutes. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
10 - Transfer to serving platter and serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dipping.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • They bake up golden and crispy on the outside while staying gooey with melted cheese on the inside, giving you that pizza craving satisfaction in under 40 minutes.
  • You can prep a whole tray in minutes, toss them in the oven, and walk away while they turn into bite-sized pizza perfection.
  • Kids and adults alike grab them straight off the cooling rack, and they disappear faster than you can slice the next batch.
02 -
  • Do not overfill the tortillas or they will split open when you roll them, leaving you with a messy baking sheet and uneven baking.
  • Placing the rolls seam-side down is crucial because it keeps them from unraveling in the oven, and skipping the oil brush makes them taste dry instead of crispy.
  • Letting them cool for a few minutes before slicing prevents the molten cheese from sliding out and burning your fingers.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the rolls cleanly and quickly without squishing the fillings out the sides.
  • If your tortillas are stiff or cold, warm them in the microwave for 10 seconds to make them more pliable and less likely to crack when rolling.
  • Sprinkling a tiny bit of Parmesan on top before baking adds a salty, nutty crust that takes them to the next level.
