Tips & Variations

  • For a vegetarian option, omit the meat and add mushrooms, olives, or spinach instead.
  • Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for added fiber and flavor.
  • Try adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • These rolls can be assembled ahead and baked just before serving.

Storage

Store any leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the tortilla soggy.

How to Serve

A round white plate holds eleven small rolled snacks arranged close together. Each piece has three visible layers: the outer layer is a light golden-brown, soft and slightly crispy wrap; the middle layer is a rich red, likely a tomato-based sauce; and the inner layer is a melted cheese, creamy and pale yellow, mixed with small bits of red, adding texture. Small green leaves are scattered on top for garnish, adding a fresh touch. The plate sits on a wooden board over a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I freeze tortilla pizza rolls?

Yes, you can freeze the assembled rolls before baking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Can I use other types of cheese?

Absolutely! Mozzarella melts well, but you can mix in cheddar, provolone, or Monterey Jack for different flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 4 large flour tortillas

Filling

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the tortilla rolls.
  2. Prepare the tortillas: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each one, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Add the toppings: Sprinkle a quarter cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each tortilla. Then distribute pepperoni slices or diced cooked ham and chopped bell peppers evenly on top. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano over everything for added flavor.
  4. Roll the tortillas: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly into a log shape, making sure the filling stays inside.
  5. Prepare the baking sheet: Lightly brush the outside of each rolled tortilla with olive oil to help achieve a golden and crisp crust during baking.
  6. Bake the rolls: Place the rolled tortillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Allow the pizza rolls to cool for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces and serving as a fun and tasty appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute the pepperoni with cooked sausage, ham, or keep it vegetarian by adding mushrooms or olives.
  • For extra crispiness, brush a bit more olive oil just before baking.
  • Serve with additional pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
