How To Make Cheesy Pizza Burritos

Step 1: Warm the Tortillas

Warm each tortilla for about 15 seconds in the microwave until soft and flexible.

Step 2: Add the Filling

Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce in the center of each tortilla.

Top with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, sausage, olives, bell pepper, onion, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.

Step 3: Roll the Burritos

Fold in both sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it into a burrito.

Step 4: Toast

Brush each burrito lightly with melted butter.

Place seam-side down in a hot skillet over medium heat.

Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Add Parmesan

Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the warm burritos immediately after cooking.

Step 6: Slice and Serve

Slice each burrito in half and serve with warm pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

Tips

• Don’t overfill the tortillas.
• Warm tortillas first to prevent cracking.
