# 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

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or apply 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 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 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 15-20 minutes, until the tortilla rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
09 - Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
10 - Transfer to serving plate and serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They bake up in under twenty minutes, which means you can go from hungry to happy without much waiting.
  • Every bite gives you that cheese pull you crave, plus the satisfying crunch of a golden tortilla edge.
  • You can stuff them with whatever's hiding in your fridge, so they never taste the same twice.
02 -
  • If you overfill the tortillas, they'll split open in the oven and make a cheesy mess, so resist the urge to pile everything on.
  • Letting them cool for a few minutes before slicing is crucial, otherwise the cheese will all slide out and you'll lose that satisfying swirl.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the rolls cleanly without squishing them, it glides through the tortilla and keeps the layers intact.
  • If your tortillas are cold from the fridge, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before rolling so they don't crack.
