Ingredients
Scale
- Small or medium flour tortillas (6–8 inches)
- 1/2 cup (55g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) pizza sauce
- About 10 slices pepperoni (optional)
- 1 tablespoon (5g) Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil or cooking spray for brushing edges
- Optional add-ins: chopped bell peppers, olives, fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Grate mozzarella cheese if needed. Slice pepperoni or veggies. Measure pizza sauce.
- Place one flour tortilla flat on a microwave-safe plate. Lightly brush or spray the edges with olive oil.
- Spread 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla, leaving about 1 inch clear around edges.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup (55g) shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce. Arrange pepperoni slices or veggies on top. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese.
- Roll the tortilla tightly but gently from one edge to avoid squeezing out fillings.
- Place roll-up seam-side down on the plate. Microwave on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes (60 to 90 seconds) until cheese melts and tortilla is warm but not rubbery. Add time in 10-second increments if needed.
- Let the roll-up rest for 30 seconds before eating to allow fillings to set.
Notes
Lightly oiling tortilla edges prevents sogginess and helps crispness. Microwave times vary; start with 60 seconds and add more if needed. For crisper texture, toast in a hot skillet for 30 seconds per side after microwaving. Do not overfill to avoid bursting.
