# What You’ll 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

→ 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

# Step-by-Step:

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 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 Tips:

01 -
  • Everything you love about pizza in a handheld spiral that actually stays together when you bite it.
  • You can prep a whole tray in the time it takes to argue over delivery options.
  • Kids and adults both reach for seconds without hesitation.
  • Cleanup is shockingly minimal for something this satisfying.
02 -
  • If you roll them too loosely, they'll unravel in the oven and you'll end up with a cheesy mess instead of clean spirals.
  • Letting them cool for a few minutes before slicing makes all the difference between neat rounds and a molten disaster.
  • Don't skip the oil or spray on top, or the tortilla will stay pale and soft instead of turning golden and crisp.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter instead of a knife to slice the rolls cleanly without squishing them.
  • If your tortillas are cracking when you roll them, microwave them for ten seconds to make them more pliable.
  • Brush the tops with melted garlic butter instead of plain oil for an extra layer of flavor.
