Crispy tortilla spirals stuffed with melted mozzarella, pepperoni, and savory pizza seasonings.

# What You'll Need:

→ Tortillas & Base

01 - 4 large flour tortillas
02 - Cooking spray or olive oil for brushing

→ Sauce & Cheese

03 - 1 cup pizza sauce
04 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Toppings

05 - 1 cup diced pepperoni
06 - 1/2 cup sliced black olives
07 - 1/2 cup diced bell peppers

→ Seasonings

08 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
10 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

# How to Prepare:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
02 - Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
03 - Top cheese with 1/4 cup diced pepperoni, 1 tablespoon diced bell peppers, and 1 tablespoon black olives. Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes over the toppings.
04 - Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form a pinwheel shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.
05 - Repeat the previous steps for the remaining three tortillas.
06 - Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil or cooking spray for a golden finish.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tortilla pizza rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
08 - Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
09 - Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything you love about pizza in a handheld, crispy spiral that doesn't require a fork.
  • You can prep a dozen of these, freeze them, and bake straight from the freezer on chaotic weeknights.
  • Kids actually ask to help make these because rolling tortillas feels like arts and crafts.
  • The cheese pull is ridiculous, and that alone makes it worth the effort.
02 -
  • If your tortillas are cold from the fridge, warm them for ten seconds in the microwave so they roll without cracking.
  • Don't skip the seam-side-down placement or they'll unroll in the oven and you'll end up with flat pizza nachos instead of spirals.
  • Let them cool for at least three minutes before slicing or the cheese will be molten lava and burn the roof of your mouth.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the rolls into even pieces without squishing them flat.
  • If the cheese starts leaking out during baking, don't panic, it crisps up into delicious cheese cracker edges that everyone fights over.
  • Double the batch and freeze half so you always have a backup plan for unexpected guests or lazy dinners.
