Introduction

Tortilla Pizza Rolls are a fun and easy snack that combines the flavors of pizza with the convenience of a handheld roll. Perfect for parties or a quick lunch, these rolls are crispy outside and packed with cheesy, savory goodness inside.

A round white plate holds eleven tightly rolled swirled pastry pieces arranged in a circle. Each roll has multiple layers of light tan dough with visible red sauce and melted cheese in between, giving a mix of reddish and creamy textures. Tiny green herbs are sprinkled on top of the rolls, adding a fresh touch. The plate is placed on a wooden board, all set against a white marbled background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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: grated parmesan, red pepper flakes, fresh basil

Instructions

Step 1: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 2: Sprinkle a quarter cup of shredded mozzarella over the sauce. Add pepperoni or ham, chopped bell peppers, and a pinch of dried oregano evenly on top.
Step 3: Roll the tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, keeping the filling inside. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Step 4: Brush the outside of each rolled tortilla lightly with olive oil to help crisp them during cooking.
Step 5: Place the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with grated parmesan or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
Step 6: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted inside.
Step 7: Allow to cool slightly, then slice into bite-sized pieces. Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.
Add cooked mushrooms or olives for more topping variety.
To make them vegetarian, omit the meat and add extra veggies.
Use marinara sauce instead of pizza sauce for a different flavor profile.

Storage

Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to retain crispiness. Microwaving is faster but may soften the tortilla.

How to Serve

A grey round plate on a white marbled surface holds eleven pizza roll-ups arranged closely together. Each roll-up has a golden-brown outer layer with a soft, slightly crispy texture. Inside, visible swirls of melted cheese and reddish tomato sauce create a spiral pattern with hints of herbs scattered on top. Small fresh green herb leaves garnish each roll, adding a touch of color contrast. The plate rests on a light wooden board. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the rolls and keep them wrapped in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking. Just bake right before serving for the best texture.

Can I freeze tortilla pizza rolls?

Absolutely. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and freeze in a sealed container for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to baking time.

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

Finishing:

Olive oil for brushing
Optional: grated parmesan, red pepper flakes, fresh basil

Instructions

Prepare Tortillas: Lay out each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface to make spreading the fillings easier.
Spread Sauce: Evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to avoid spillage when rolling.
Add Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, followed by pepperoni slices or diced cooked ham and chopped bell peppers. Lightly sprinkle with dried oregano for added flavor.
Roll Up: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other to form a log shape, making sure the filling stays inside.
Prepare for Baking: Place the rolled tortillas seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil for a golden finish.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the tortilla rolls for about 15-18 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy and the cheese inside has melted.
Optional Garnish: Remove from oven and sprinkle with grated parmesan, red pepper flakes, or fresh basil if desired for extra flavor and garnish.
Serve: Let cool slightly, then slice into bite-sized pieces if preferred and serve warm.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, omit the pepperoni or ham and add more veggies like mushrooms or olives.
Ensure tortillas are rolled tightly to prevent filling from spilling out during baking.
Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and easy cleanup.
These rolls can be prepared in advance and baked just before serving for convenience.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster oven for crispiness.
