These Tortilla Pizza Rolls are the ultimate quick fix for pizza cravings.

Perfect for weeknight dinners, after-school snacks, or game-day appetizers, these golden, cheesy pinwheels come together in under 25 minutes with almost no cleanup.

Ingredients

4 large flour tortillas
½ cup pizza sauce (or marinara)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup pepperoni slices (or diced ham)
¼ cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
Olive oil for brushing

Optional toppings:

Grated parmesan
Red pepper flakes
Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Assemble the rolls
Lay each tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly, then add pepperoni, bell peppers, and oregano.
Roll and slice
Roll each tortilla tightly into a log. Slice into 1-inch thick rounds — you should get about 4 rolls per tortilla.
Bake to golden perfection
Arrange the rolls cut-side up on your baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil for that irresistible crisp. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are golden.
Serve and enjoy
Remove from oven, let cool for 2 minutes, and garnish with parmesan, red pepper flakes, or basil. Serve warm with a side of extra pizza sauce or ranch for dipping.

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Pizza Rolls

Don’t overfill: Too much sauce or cheese can cause the rolls to unravel during baking.
Roll tightly: The tighter the roll, the neater the spiral. Use a toothpick to hold shape if needed.
Brush with oil: It’s the secret to that golden, bakery-style crunch.
Cool slightly before serving: This helps the cheese set and keeps the spirals intact.
Try the air fryer: Cook at 375°F for 6–7 minutes for extra crispiness.

Substitutions & Variations

Vegetarian: Swap pepperoni for mushrooms, spinach, or roasted veggies.
Vegan: Use dairy-free cheese and vegan-friendly tortillas.
Gluten-Free: Opt for certified gluten-free wraps or almond flour tortillas.
Breakfast Twist: Fill with scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheddar.
Dessert Roll: Spread Nutella, top with sliced strawberries, and bake — yes, it works!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make Tortilla Pizza Rolls ahead of time?

How do I reheat leftovers?

Pop them in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes. They’ll crisp right back up.
