Crispy Tortilla Pizza Wrap (Printer-friendly)

A quick fusion dish featuring a tortilla loaded with pizza toppings, folded and pan-toasted for a perfectly crispy, cheesy snack.

# Ingredient List:

→ Tortilla Base

01 - 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)

→ Sauce

02 - 4 tbsp pizza sauce or tomato passata
03 - 1 tsp olive oil (optional, for brushing)

→ Cheese

04 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Toppings

05 - 1/3 cup sliced pepperoni or vegetarian alternative (optional)
06 - 1/4 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
07 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
08 - 4 black olives, sliced
09 - 1/2 tsp dried oregano
10 - Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Place a tortilla on a clean surface. With a knife or scissors, cut a single straight line from the center to the edge (radius cut).
02 - Spread 2 tbsp pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1 cm border.
03 - Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese evenly across the tortilla.
04 - Arrange half of the pepperoni (if using), bell pepper, red onion, and olives in separate quarters of the tortilla. Sprinkle with a pinch of dried oregano.
05 - Starting from the cut, fold each quarter over the next to create a layered, triangle-shaped wrap.
06 - Repeat steps 1-5 for the second tortilla.
07 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with olive oil if desired.
08 - Place the folded wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
09 - Remove from the pan, let cool briefly, and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Slice in half and serve hot.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It delivers all the flavor of pizza without turning on the oven or waiting for dough to rise.
  • The folding technique keeps every bite loaded with toppings and gooey melted cheese.
  • You can customize it endlessly based on whatever is lingering in your fridge.
02 -
  • Do not overfill the tortilla or it will split when you fold it, and all your toppings will spill into the pan.
  • Medium heat is crucial because high heat will burn the outside before the cheese melts, leaving you with a sad, unmelted center.
  • Press gently with the spatula while cooking to help the layers fuse together and crisp evenly.
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one because it holds heat beautifully and gives you the crispiest edges.
  • Let the wrap rest for 30 seconds after cooking so the cheese sets slightly and doesn't all slide out when you cut it.
  • If your tortillas are stiff or cold, warm them for a few seconds in the microwave so they fold without cracking.
