Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Adds aromatic flavors that enhance the dish.
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional) For those who love a spicy kick.

  • to taste dried parsley or basil For garnish, elevating the dish visually.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Lay out each tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread about 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly across the center.
  • Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then place 4 slices of pepperoni on top.
  • Dust the layers with dried oregano, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
  • Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other and place each roll seam-side down in the greased baking dish.
  • Spoon remaining pizza sauce over the top of the rolled-up tortillas and add more shredded mozzarella and extra pepperoni slices on top.

Baking

  • Bake the dish in the oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden, crispy exterior.

Garnishing and Serving

  • Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle dried parsley or basil on top. Serve hot with extra pizza sauce on the side.

Notes

Consider using regular flour or corn tortillas if preferred. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the filling. Make ahead by preparing earlier in the day and refrigerating.
