Each bite is loaded with melty mozzarella, savory marinara, crispy-edged pepperoni, and a perfectly seasoned tortilla shell topped with shredded parmesan. It’s a comforting, satisfying twist that delivers the full pizzeria experience right from your oven.

What Kind of Tortilla Should I Use?

For a sturdy, non-leaky wrap, use large flour tortillas (burrito size). These are flexible enough to fold without tearing but substantial enough to hold all the cheesy, saucy goodness inside. Warm them slightly before rolling to prevent cracking.

Ingredients for the Pizza Burritos

  • Flour Tortillas: A soft yet sturdy base to roll everything up without falling apart.
  • Mozzarella Cheese: For that classic gooey, stretchy pizza texture.
  • Pepperoni Slices: Brings the salty, spiced bite that makes this feel like a true pizza.
  • Marinara Sauce: Adds the essential tangy tomato element in every bite.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkled on top for a crispy, golden finish.
  • Italian Seasoning: A blend of oregano, basil, and thyme to infuse that unmistakable pizza aroma.

How To Make the Pizza Burritos

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Build the Burritos

Lay each tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the center. Top with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices. Be generous, but leave space around the edges for folding.

Step 3: Fold and Seal

Fold the sides over, then roll tightly from bottom to top like a burrito. Place seam side down on the baking sheet.

Step 4: Top and Bake

Brush the tops lightly with olive oil or cooking spray. Sprinkle parmesan and Italian seasoning over each burrito. Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

Step 5: Serve Warm

Let cool slightly, then slice in half and serve with extra marinara for dipping.


Serving and Storing These Pizza Burritos

Serve these pizza burritos fresh out of the oven while the cheese is still molten and stretchy. They’re fantastic as a snack, dinner, or even party finger food.

To store, wrap them individually in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture. Avoid microwaving unless you’re okay with a softer finish.

1 tablespoon olive oil (or spray for brushing)


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Lay out each tortilla. Spread about ¼ cup marinara sauce down the center, keeping space at the edges.

3. Sprinkle mozzarella over the sauce, followed by about 7–8 slices of pepperoni per burrito.

4. Fold sides inward, then roll from the bottom up tightly to form a burrito.

5. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.

6. Brush tops with olive oil or spray lightly.

7. Sprinkle parmesan and Italian seasoning over each.

8. Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Warm tortillas briefly before rolling to make folding easier and prevent cracking.

For a vegetarian version, skip the pepperoni and use sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or olives.
