# Required ingredients:

→ 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, optional

# How to make it:

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 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 contained inside.
06 - Repeat the sauce application, topping, seasoning, and rolling process with 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 -
  • Everything you love about pizza, but faster and without the dough drama.
  • The edges get crispy and golden while the inside stays gooey and warm.
  • You can prep a whole tray in less time than it takes to argue about delivery toppings.
  • Kids and adults both reach for seconds without hesitation.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting time after baking, or the cheese will slide right out when you cut into them.
  • If your tortilla cracks while rolling, warm it in the microwave for ten seconds to make it more pliable.
  • Seam-side down is crucial, otherwise they'll unravel halfway through baking and you'll have a cheesy mess.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter instead of a knife for cleaner, faster slicing.
  • Brush the tops with garlic butter right after baking for an extra layer of flavor.
  • If you want crispier rolls, broil them for the last two minutes, watching closely so they don't burn.
