Ingredients
Scale
Wraps and Sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup pizza sauce
Cheese and Toppings
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup mini pepperoni (or regular pepperoni, sliced)
- ½ cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- ½ cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
Seasonings and Finishing
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray to ensure the wraps bake evenly and don’t stick.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow during baking. Next, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, or your preferred pizza toppings.
- Season: Sprinkle each wrap with a pinch of dried oregano and garlic powder. These spices add a lovely depth of flavor typical of traditional pizza seasoning.
- Roll the Wraps: Roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap, tucking in the sides as you go to keep the filling secure inside. A firm roll helps maintain the shape during baking and keeps the ingredients from spilling out.
- Bake: Brush the tops of the wraps with olive oil to promote browning and crispiness. Place the wraps seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to prevent them from unrolling. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the wraps are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the pizza wraps to cool for a minute or two after baking. Slice them into halves or thirds for sharing or easy dipping. Serve with extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing to enhance the flavors.
Notes
- You can customize these wraps with any favorite pizza toppings such as olives, onions, or sausage.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
- Use part-skim mozzarella cheese to reduce fat content.
- Ensure wraps are rolled tightly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Leftover wraps can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven for best texture retention.
