Pizza Burritos combine the flavors of classic pizza with the convenience of a portable burrito.

This fun fusion recipe is perfect for a quick meal or a party snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 5 flour tortillas (soft taco size)
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1+ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 30+ pepperoni slices (or stuffings of choice)

Seasoning & Topping

  • 3 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1/3 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • pinch of salt
  • shredded parmesan (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out the 5 flour tortillas on a clean surface or baking sheet. This will be the base of your pizza burritos.
  2. Spread Sauce: Evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spillage when rolling.
  3. Add Cheese and Pepperoni: Sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese, then top with 6 or more pepperoni slices (or your preferred stuffing ingredients) on each tortilla.
  4. Roll the Burritos: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides just like a burrito, ensuring the fillings stay inside.
  5. Season Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to create a flavorful brush-on glaze.
  6. Brush Burritos: Lightly brush each rolled burrito with the seasoned melted butter. This helps create a golden and crispy outer crust.
  7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the burritos seam-side down on a baking sheet. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  8. Add Parmesan: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese on top while the burritos are still hot to let it melt slightly.
  9. Serve: Let cool a couple of minutes, then serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.

Notes

  • You can customize the fillings by adding vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • For a crispier burrito, broil for the last 1-2 minutes but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier, fiber-rich option.
  • These pizza burritos can be wrapped tightly and frozen before baking, then baked directly from frozen (add a few extra minutes to baking time).
  • Try different cheeses such as provolone or cheddar for varied taste profiles.
