Scale 1x2x3x

Primary Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup pepperoni slices or diced cooked ham
• 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• Olive oil for brushing

Optional Toppings

• Grated parmesan cheese
• Red pepper flakes
• Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough to crisp the tortilla rolls evenly.
2. Prepare tortillas: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow during baking.
3. Add toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the sauce. Distribute pepperoni slices or diced ham over the cheese, followed by the chopped bell peppers. Sprinkle dried oregano evenly across all the tortillas for added flavor.
4. Roll the tortillas: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly into a log shape, starting from one edge and rolling towards the other, ensuring the filling stays inside.
5. Brush with olive oil: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush the tops and sides of each roll with olive oil to promote browning and a crispy texture.
6. Bake the rolls: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
7. Optional toppings and serving: Once baked, remove the pizza rolls from the oven and optionally sprinkle with grated parmesan, red pepper flakes, or fresh basil leaves for extra flavor. Slice into 1-inch pieces and serve warm.

Notes

• Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
• Customize the fillings with your favorite pizza toppings like mushrooms, olives, or cooked sausage.
• Make ahead by assembling the rolls and refrigerating them until ready to bake.
• For a crispier texture, lightly toast the tortillas in a skillet before adding the fillings.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best results.
