2 cups pizza sauce

½ cup diced bell peppers

½ cup diced onions

1 tsp Italian seasoning

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1: Prep the Dish

Spread a little pizza sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.

Roll tightly and place seam‑side down in the dish.

Step 3: Top & Bake

Pour remaining pizza sauce over the rolled tortillas.

Sprinkle with mozzarella, Parmesan, and extra pepperoni if desired.

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, until hot, bubbly, and golden.

Time & Yield

Bake Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Tips for Success

Use freshly grated mozzarella for the best melt.

Cover the dish with foil for the first 15 minutes to keep tortillas soft, then uncover to brown the cheese.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.

Serving Ideas

Serve with garlic bread or a crisp green salad.

Offer marinara or ranch dipping sauce on the side.

Garnish with fresh basil for a pizza‑parlor touch.

Variations

Supreme Style: Add black olives, jalapeños, and extra veggies for a loaded version.
