3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Tortilla Pizza Rolls
Prepare the Tortillas
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a couple of tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Add the Toppings
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add your preferred toppings such as pepperoni, sliced vegetables, or any other kid-approved ingredients. Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning if desired to enhance flavor.
Roll and Seal
Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, starting from one edge to the opposite edge, creating a burrito-style roll. Use a little water or beaten egg along the edge to seal the roll if needed.
Bake or Air Fry
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the rolled tortillas seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a little olive oil for a golden crust.
Alternatively, for quicker results, you can use an Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1. Cook in the air fryer at 375°F for about 10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
