# Ingredient List:

→ 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

→ Seasonings

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

# Directions:

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 over 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 tightly from one end to the other to form a pinwheel shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.
06 - Repeat filling, 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 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 -
  • They bake in under 20 minutes, so you can go from craving to eating faster than ordering takeout.
  • The crispy tortilla edge gives you that satisfying crunch that regular pizza crust sometimes lacks.
  • You can customize every single roll to match exactly what each person wants on their pizza.
  • They freeze beautifully, so you can pull out a few for a quick snack anytime.
02 -
  • If you skip the oil brush, the tortillas stay pale and soft instead of turning crispy and golden.
  • Rolling too loosely causes the filling to leak out during baking, so take your time and roll snugly.
  • Letting them rest before slicing prevents the cheese from oozing everywhere and makes cleaner cuts.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the rolls cleanly without squishing the filling out the sides.
  • If your tortillas are stiff or cold, warm them in the microwave for 10 seconds to make rolling easier.
  • Don't skip the parchment paper; it prevents sticking and makes transferring the rolls a breeze.
