Ingredients
Base
- Flour Tortillas (medium or large size) – enough for number of servings
- Olive Oil – for brushing
Sauce
- Pizza Sauce (jarred or homemade marinara) – about 2-3 tablespoons per tortilla
Cheese
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – 1/2 to 3/4 cup per tortilla
- Optional: Cheddar Cheese (for cheese blend) – to taste
Vegetables
- Bell Peppers, sliced – 1/4 cup per tortilla
- Onions, sliced – 1/4 cup per tortilla
- Mushrooms, sliced – 1/4 cup per tortilla
Proteins (Optional)
- Pepperoni slices, cooked chicken pieces, or cooked sausage – 1/4 cup per tortilla
Herbs & Spices
- Oregano – a light sprinkle
- Basil – a light sprinkle
- Chili flakes (optional) – to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s hot and ready to crisp your tortilla wrap pizza perfectly.
- Prepare the Tortilla Base: Lightly brush both sides of each flour tortilla with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. This step ensures a golden, crunchy crust.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla, then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top. This foundation guarantees each bite is melty and flavorful.
- Layer Your Favorite Toppings: Add your chosen veggies, meats, and herbs evenly across the tortillas. Don’t overload; a balanced topping spread avoids sogginess and keeps the wrap crisp.
- Bake and Enjoy: Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tortillas are golden. Serve immediately for best crunch and taste.
Notes
- Use thin tortillas for better crispiness and less doughiness.
- Don’t overload toppings to avoid sogginess and ensure easy folding if desired.
- Pre-cook all proteins thoroughly before adding them to the pizza.
- For extra crispiness, broil the tortilla wrap pizza for 1-2 minutes after baking.
- Add fresh herbs like basil or parsley after baking for vibrant flavor and color.
