Tortilla Pizza Wrap Crispy (Print View)

Pan-toasted flour tortilla with pizza sauce, melted mozzarella, pepperoni, and fresh vegetables. Crispy, cheesy, and ready in minutes.

# Ingredient List:

→ Tortilla Base

01 - 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)

→ Sauce

02 - 4 tbsp pizza sauce or tomato passata
03 - 1 tsp olive oil, for brushing (optional)

→ Cheese

04 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 100 g)

→ Toppings

05 - 1/3 cup sliced pepperoni or vegetarian alternative (optional, about 40 g)
06 - 1/4 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
07 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
08 - 4 black olives, sliced
09 - 1/2 tsp dried oregano
10 - Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Place a tortilla on a clean cutting board. Using a knife or kitchen scissors, make a straight cut from the center to the outer edge, creating a radius cut that divides the tortilla into quarters.
02 - Spread 2 tbsp of pizza sauce evenly across the tortilla surface, maintaining a 1/2-inch border around the outer edge to prevent spillage during folding.
03 - Distribute 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauced area, ensuring coverage extends to all four quarters of the tortilla.
04 - Place half of the pepperoni (if using), bell pepper strips, red onion slices, and olives in separate triangular quarters. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp dried oregano.
05 - Starting from the cut edge, fold each quarter over the next in a clockwise direction to create a layered triangle-shaped wrap with four distinct filling sections.
06 - Repeat the preparation process with the second tortilla, sauce, remaining cheese, and toppings to create the second serving.
07 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Lightly brush with olive oil if desired for enhanced browning.
08 - Place the folded wraps seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy with fully melted cheese.
09 - Transfer wraps to a cutting board and let rest for 1 minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately while hot and crispy.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • That magical crunch when you bite through the toasted tortilla into melty cheese gives you pizza satisfaction in literally half the time.
  • You can customize each quarter with different toppings, making it perfect for picky eaters or when you cant decide between pepperoni or veggies.
02 -
  • If your tortilla feels stiff or old, warm it for 10 seconds in the microwave before assembling to make it pliable and prevent cracking during the folding process.
  • Cooking these on lower heat for longer creates a much crispier exterior than high heat, which can burn the tortilla before the cheese properly melts.
03 -
  • If your tortilla keeps unfolding while cooking, secure it with a toothpick for the first minute or two until the cheese starts to melt and naturally seal the edges.
  • For an extra golden, crispy exterior, brush the outside of the folded tortilla with a tiny amount of olive oil or butter before placing in the pan.
