Learn how to make delicious Tortilla Pizza Rolls. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter works best)
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought; Nonna Rosa’s marinara recipe is a treasure!)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup sliced pepperoni or your favorite pizza toppings (mushrooms, bell peppers, olives)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
  • Optional: fresh basil leaves for garnish

Substitution tips: Feel free to swap flour tortillas for whole wheat or gluten-free varieties. For a vegetarian twist, replace pepperoni with sautéed mushrooms or spinach. Vegan cheese works beautifully too—my daughters love when I sneak in a dairy-free version!

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Lay out one tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about ¼ cup of marinara sauce evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spilling.
  3. Sprinkle ⅓ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add your chosen toppings evenly—pepperoni slices, mushrooms, or whatever you enjoy most.
  4. Sprinkle a pinch of dried Italian seasoning and a teaspoon of grated Parmesan over the toppings for that extra burst of flavor.
  5. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, keeping the filling inside. Place the roll seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
  7. Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with olive oil. This helps achieve a beautiful golden crust.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese inside is bubbly and melted.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool for about 5 minutes before slicing them into 1-inch pieces—perfect bite-sized snacks!
  10. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve warm.

When I first made these with Olivia and Isabella, I was amazed at how eager they were to help with each step, especially rolling the tortillas. It’s one of those recipes that invites family involvement, making cooking a joyful, shared experience.
