Ingredients
- Small flour or corn tortillas
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Pizza sauce or marinara
- Turkey pepperoni slices (or traditional/plant-based alternative)
- Olive oil or cooking spray
- Italian seasoning
- Optional: sliced olives, bell peppers, mushrooms, fresh basil
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Warm tortillas slightly to make them easier to fold.
-
On one half of each tortilla, spoon a bit of pizza sauce, top with mozzarella, and layer with pepperoni slices and optional toppings.
-
Fold tortillas in half and place on the baking sheet.
-
Lightly brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle Italian seasoning.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until tortillas are crisp and cheese is melted.
-
Let cool slightly before serving with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Swap in shredded chicken, sautéed veggies, or cooked lentils for different fillings.
- Use pesto instead of marinara for a flavorful twist.
- Whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas work well.
- Add crushed red pepper or chili oil for heat.
- Best served fresh—reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
