# List of ingredients:

→ Tortillas & Base

01 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-12 inch diameter)
02 - Cooking spray or 2 tablespoons olive oil for brushing

→ Sauce & Cheese

03 - 1 cup pizza sauce
04 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (approximately 8 ounces)

→ Toppings

05 - 1 cup diced pepperoni (approximately 4 ounces)
06 - 1/2 cup sliced black olives
07 - 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)

→ Seasonings

08 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
10 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

# How to make it:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
02 - Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edges. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
03 - Top with 1/4 cup diced pepperoni, 1 tablespoon diced bell peppers, and 1 tablespoon black olives. Sprinkle with a pinch of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using.
04 - Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other to form a pinwheel shape, ensuring the filling stays inside. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Lightly brush the tops with olive oil or cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
06 - Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They come together in under 20 minutes with ingredients you probably already have
  • The spiral cut reveals beautiful layers that look impressive but are incredibly easy to make
02 -
  • Rolling too tightly can tear the tortilla, but too loosely and the filling spills out, finding the right pressure took me a few tries
  • Letting them rest for those 5 minutes is the hardest part but essential for clean cuts and that perfect cheese pull
03 -
  • Room temperature tortillas roll more easily without cracking, so let them sit out for 10 minutes first
  • Use a serrated knife with a gentle sawing motion for the cleanest spiral cuts
