# 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

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease 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 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 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 steps 2-5 for the remaining three tortillas.
07 - Place 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 preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until tortilla rolls are golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
09 - Remove from 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 up crispy on the outside while the cheese stays gooey and stretchy inside.
  • You can have them ready in less time than it takes to order delivery.
  • Everyone gets to pick their own toppings, so no one complains about olives or peppers.
  • They freeze beautifully, which means you can pull out a quick snack anytime.
02 -
  • If you add too much sauce, the tortilla gets soggy and won't crisp up properly.
  • Always place the rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet or they'll unravel in the oven.
  • Let them cool for at least five minutes before slicing, or the cheese will ooze out everywhere.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the rolls cleanly without squishing the filling out.
  • Warm your tortillas slightly in the microwave for a few seconds before rolling so they're more pliable and less likely to crack.
  • If you want extra crispy edges, brush the tops with melted butter mixed with a pinch of garlic powder before baking.
