Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices or diced cooked ham
- 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Finishing Touches
- Olive oil for brushing
- Optional: grated parmesan
- Optional: red pepper flakes
- Optional: fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure even cooking and easy cleanup.
- Prepare Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface and spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce over each tortilla to provide a flavorful base.
- Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Then, distribute the pepperoni slices or diced cooked ham, chopped bell peppers, and dried oregano evenly over the cheese layer to build flavor and texture.
- Roll and Slice: Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape, ensuring the fillings stay inside. Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick rolls to create individual pizza bites.
- Arrange and Brush: Place the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil to enhance browning and crispness.
- Bake: Bake the tortilla pizza rolls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and, if desired, garnish with grated parmesan, red pepper flakes, or fresh basil for extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy.
