# 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

→ 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

# 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 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 inside.
06 - Repeat steps 2 through 4 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 Suggestions:

01 -
  • They come together in about 38 minutes total, making them perfect for those moments when you need something impressive but don't have hours to spend in the kitchen.
  • The combination of crispy tortilla, melted cheese, and that satisfying pepperoni bite hits different every single time.
  • Kids actually want to eat them, and adults find themselves sneaking extras straight from the cooling rack.
02 -
  • Don't roll them too loosely or the filling sneaks out during baking—tension matters, and a firm, confident roll gives you better structure and cheese distribution.
  • If you're using fresh bell peppers, make sure they're diced small; larger chunks don't cook through and become chewy instead of tender.
03 -
  • Brush the tops with garlic butter instead of plain oil for extra flavor and a more luxurious golden color.
  • Slice them while they're still warm and arranged on a platter—that fresh-from-the-oven presentation is half the appeal.
