Scale
Base
- 4x 9-10"/23-25cm Flour Tortillas
- 240g / 1 cup Pizza Sauce
- 200-250g / 2-2.5 cups shredded Mozzarella
Meat
- 5-6 Pork Sausages, meat squeezed from skins
- 12 slices of Pepperoni
Vegetables
- 1 large Pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small White Onion, thinly sliced
- Handful of Black Olives, thinly sliced
- Handful of sliced Jalapeños
Seasonings & Oil
- Few pinches of Oregano
- Olive Oil, as needed for frying
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: Heat a large pan over medium heat with a dash of olive oil. Add the sausage meat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and fry until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cooked sausage onto a plate.
- Cook the Vegetables: In the same pan with leftover fat, add the sliced onions and peppers. Fry until they have softened and become fragrant. Remove and set aside.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Stack the tortillas on a chopping board and slice them from the center down to the bottom edge. Lay them flat on a clean surface and start layering the fillings quarter by quarter — spread pizza sauce on the bottom-right quarter, add the cooked vegetables above it, then the cooked sausage on the top-left quarter, and finish with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Fold the Wraps: Carefully fold the tortilla by bringing up the sauce quarter over the veggies, then fold over the sausage section, and finally fold over the cheese quarter. Press down gently to seal the filling inside. If the tortillas feel stiff, warm them slightly in the microwave to make folding easier.
- Pan Fry the Wraps: Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it if needed. Add the folded wraps and fry for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Lower the heat if they start to char too quickly, ensuring they cook evenly.
- Add Toppings & Grill: Spread a little pizza sauce on top of each wrap, then add shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, and sprinkle with oregano. Place the wraps under a preheated grill set to HIGH and cook until the cheese melts and the pepperoni crisps, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from the grill carefully and serve hot. These tortilla wrap pizzas go well with a side salad or fries for a complete meal.
Notes
- You can customize the fillings with any cooked meats and sautéed vegetables. Just ensure any raw ingredients are fully cooked and moisture from vegetables is reduced to prevent sogginess.
- Use thick pizza sauce to avoid the wraps getting too soggy. If your sauce is thin, simmer it to thicken before use.
- To make folding easier, warm tortillas slightly in the microwave if they feel firm or brittle.
- If your pan is too small, cook the wraps in batches and finish cooking the toppings under the grill on a baking tray.
- This recipe serves 2-4 people depending on appetite; best paired with simple sides like salad or fries for a filling meal.
