Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano or basil)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Lay out the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving about an inch border around the edges to prevent oozing during cooking.
  2. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then layer on your preferred toppings such as pepperoni slices. Be careful not to overload the filling to make rolling easier.
  3. Roll Them Up Tightly: Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla up as tightly as possible without tearing it. A tight roll helps it hold its shape and cook evenly.
  4. Slice Into Rolls: Using a sharp knife, cut each rolled tortilla into 1 to 1.5-inch slices to create bite-sized pieces ideal for snacking or serving.
  5. Cook Until Golden and Crispy: Heat a skillet with olive oil over medium heat or preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the rolls cut-side down in the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted, or bake on a sheet for 10-15 minutes until crispy.

Notes

  • Use freshly shredded mozzarella cheese for better melting and texture.
  • Do not overfill the tortillas to prevent the rolls from falling apart.
  • Lightly brush the edges of the tortillas with water before rolling to help seal them.
  • Cook over medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring cheese melts thoroughly.
  • Press the rolls in a panini press for extra crispiness.
