Main Ingredients
- Flour Tortillas – soft and pliable, enough for desired servings
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – about 1 to 2 cups
- Pizza Sauce – roughly ½ cup
- Italian Seasoning – 1 teaspoon
Optional Toppings
- Pepperoni slices
- Olives (sliced)
- Vegetables such as mushrooms, bell peppers, spinach
- Cooked sausage, bacon bits, or diced ham
- Crushed red pepper or hot sauce for a spicy version
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all tortillas, shredded cheese, pizza sauce, and any optional toppings you wish to add. Have everything within reach for smooth assembly.
- Spread the Sauce: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce covering the entire surface to the edges to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce. Add any additional toppings like pepperoni, olives, or veggies. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning on top.
- Roll It Up Tight: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log, ensuring the fillings are packed snugly inside and do not spill out.
- Slice and Bake: Cut the rolled tortilla into bite-sized pieces or leave whole according to your preference. Place the rolls seam side down on a baking sheet. Optionally, brush the outside lightly with olive oil for extra crispiness. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and the edges become golden and crispy.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the tortillas to prevent leaking during baking.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melty texture.
- Lightly brushing olive oil on the outside before baking enhances crispiness.
- Let rolls cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burns and help cheese set.
- Opt for a quality pizza sauce as it greatly influences the flavor.
