Ingredients
1 cup marinara sauce
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
30 slices pepperoni
4 large flour tortillas
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
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.
9. Let cool slightly, slice, and serve with extra marinara.
Notes
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.
