• Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.
• Try different cheeses like cheddar or provolone for varied flavors.
• Brush with garlic butter instead of olive oil for extra richness.

FAQs

Can I freeze tortilla pizza rolls?

Yes, you can freeze the rolls before baking. Arrange them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

What can I use instead of flour tortillas?

You can try using whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas depending on your dietary preference. Just make sure they are large and sturdy enough to hold the filling when rolled.

• 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• Olive oil for brushing

Optional Toppings

• Grated parmesan cheese
• Red pepper flakes
• Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare tortillas: Lay each flour tortilla flat on your workspace and spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce over the surface to create a savory base.

4. Roll and slice: Tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, slice each log into approximately 1-inch thick rolls to create bite-sized portions.
5. Prepare for baking: Arrange the tortilla rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil to encourage browning and crispness.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
7. Garnish and serve: Once baked, optionally sprinkle with grated parmesan, red pepper flakes, or fresh basil leaves. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

• You can customize the filling with your favorite pizza toppings like mushrooms, olives, or cooked sausage.
• For a crispier texture, brush the rolls with olive oil before baking.
• Serve with extra pizza sauce or marinara for dipping.
• Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier variation.
• These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated.
