2. Step 2: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each one.
3. Step 3: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce, then add pepperoni, chopped bell peppers, and dried oregano on top.
4. Step 4: Roll each tortilla tightly into a log, then cut the rolls into 1-inch thick slices.
5. Step 5: Arrange the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush the tops with olive oil.

Tips & Variations

• Use different meats like cooked sausage or bacon to vary the flavor.
• Swap bell peppers for mushrooms or olives to add different textures and tastes.
• For a crispier exterior, brush the rolls with garlic butter instead of olive oil before baking.
• Add a pinch of chili flakes inside the rolls for a spicy kick.

Storage

Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to keep them crispy. Avoid microwaving, which can make them soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use whole wheat or corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?

Yes, whole wheat tortillas work well and add a nuttier flavor. Corn tortillas are less flexible, so they may crack when rolling, but you can try warming them first to increase pliability.

Can I prepare these in advance and bake later?

Absolutely! Assemble and slice the rolls, then cover and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if they are cold straight from the fridge.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Main 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Tortillas: Lay the large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface, then spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce over each tortilla, ensuring the sauce covers most of the surface but doesn’t overflow when rolled.
3. Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each tortilla. Then add pepperoni slices or diced cooked ham and chopped bell peppers. Finally, sprinkle a little dried oregano over everything for that classic Italian flavor.
4. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into approximately 1-inch thick pieces to create individual pizza rolls.
5. Arrange and Brush: Place the cut rolls on the prepared baking sheet with the cut side facing up. Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil to enhance browning and crispiness during baking.
6. Bake: Bake the pizza rolls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbling and melted.
7. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, optionally garnish the pizza rolls with grated parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, or fresh basil for added flavor and presentation. Serve warm for best taste.

Notes

• You can substitute pepperoni with cooked ham or any preferred pizza topping.
• Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier variation.
• For extra crispiness, brush with olive oil before and after baking.
• Customize toppings based on preference, such as adding mushrooms, olives, or onions.
• These rolls can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for a quick snack.
