Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
Fillings
- 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
For Finishing
- Olive oil for brushing
- Optional: grated parmesan, red pepper flakes, fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Tortillas: Lay each flour tortilla flat and spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce over the surface, ensuring it reaches close to the edges.
- Add Fillings: Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then top with pepperoni slices or diced ham, chopped bell peppers, and a light dusting of dried oregano for flavor.
- Roll and Slice: Tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, cut each log into 1-inch thick slices to create individual rolls.
- Arrange and Brush: Place the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil to help achieve a golden, crispy finish while baking.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbling and melted.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with grated parmesan, red pepper flakes, or fresh basil before serving warm as a snack or light meal.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute pizza sauce with marinara, Alfredo, or pesto sauces to customize the flavor.
- Try adding vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or caramelized onions for a healthier or gourmet twist.
- These rolls can be assembled in advance and refrigerated; bake fresh when ready to serve.
- They freeze well—freeze uncooked rolls on a tray, then store in a bag and bake directly from frozen.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
- Perfect for kids to assemble and customize with their favorite toppings.
- Serve with dipping sauces such as ranch, garlic aioli, marinara, or honey mustard.
