Enjoy a delicious twist on traditional pizza with these easy and customizable Pizza Burritos!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
- Optional: sliced mushrooms, diced bell peppers, black olives, cooked sausage
- Optional: extra marinara for dipping, fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven or Air Fryer: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This step is crucial to ensure that your Pizza Burritos cook evenly and come out perfectly crispy.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out one tortilla on a flat surface. Take 2-3 tablespoons of your chosen marinara or pizza sauce and spread it evenly in the center of the tortilla.
- Add the Cheese and Toppings: Next, sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Follow this with a handful of sliced pepperoni and any other desired toppings such as mushrooms or diced bell peppers.
- Roll the Burrito: Begin folding the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it tightly from the bottom up to create a burrito shape.
- Arrange for Cooking: Place your assembled burrito seam-side down on a baking sheet if you are using the oven, or in the air fryer basket.
- Brush with Oil and Season: Brush the top of the burrito with olive oil or melted butter; sprinkle a little bit of grated parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning on top.
- Cooking Time: Bake the burritos in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until they are golden brown. If you’re using an air fryer, cook them for about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Cool and Serve: After cooking, allow the burritos to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Serve your Pizza Burritos with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses; ricotta, cheddar, or a blend can all work well! Be careful not to overstuff your burritos, as this can lead to messier eating and uneven cooking.
