Description
Tortilla Pizza Rolls are a fun and easy twist on traditional pizza, using soft flour tortillas instead of dough to create bite-sized, crispy, and flavorful roll-ups. These quick-to-make snacks combine savory pizza sauce, gooey mozzarella, pepperoni or ham, and vegetables, baked to golden perfection. Perfect for family meals, parties, or lunchboxes, they offer great versatility and customization while being kid-friendly and ideal for meal prepping.
Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
Cheese and Toppings
- 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
- Optional: grated Parmesan, red pepper flakes, fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare the tortillas: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce over the entire surface to create the flavorful base for the rolls.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauced tortillas. Then add the pepperoni slices or diced ham, chopped bell peppers, and a sprinkle of dried oregano to infuse the rolls with classic pizza flavors.
- Roll and slice: Tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape and slice each log into 1-inch thick rolls to create bite-sized pieces for easy serving.
- Prepare for baking: Place the cut rolls on the baking sheet with the cut side facing up. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil to promote browning and a crispy texture.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, signaling they are perfectly cooked.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and garnish with grated Parmesan, red pepper flakes, or fresh basil if desired. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- These rolls are highly customizable — experiment with different sauces (marinara, Alfredo, pesto) and toppings like grilled chicken, olives, or roasted veggies.
- You can assemble the rolls ahead and refrigerate them before baking, making meal prep easy.
- Freezer-friendly: freeze the unbaked rolls and bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to baking time.
- Great for kids and picky eaters; involve them in choosing and assembling toppings to make mealtime fun.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness instead of microwaving.
