Easy Pizza Burritos: All the Flavor, Rolled Up!

Make fun and easy Pizza Burritos! This simple recipe wraps pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni in a flour tortilla, brushes it with garlic-Parmesan butter, and bakes until golden.

Ingredients

(Based on 1x column, makes 5 burritos)

Pizza Burritos:

  • ▢ 5 flour tortillas (soft taco size, approx. 8-10 inch)
  • ▢ 1 cup pizza sauce (or marinara)
  • ▢ 1+ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided (use more if desired)
  • ▢ 30+ pepperoni slices (or fillings of choice)
  • ▢ 1 large egg, beaten

Garlic Butter Topping:

  • ▢ 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • ▢ 1/3 tsp garlic powder
  • ▢ 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ▢ pinch of salt
  • ▢ 2 Tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

For Serving (Optional):

  • ▢ Marinara sauce or Ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven / Air Fryer:

  • Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet, lining with parchment paper if desired.
  • Air Fryer Method: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes if required by your model.

2. Assemble the Pizza Burritos:

  • Lay one flour tortilla flat. Spread a layer of pizza sauce over the tortilla, leaving a small border (about 1-inch) around the edges.
  • Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  • Layer pepperoni slices (or your chosen fillings) over the cheese. Add another sprinkle of mozzarella on top of the fillings. Be careful not to overstuff, leaving room to fold easily.
  • Fold the burrito: Fold in the two short sides/corners first. Then, starting from one of the long edges, tightly roll the tortilla up towards the other long edge, like a burrito.
  • Brush the final edge lightly with some of the beaten egg wash before sealing it closed. Pinch the seam gently.
  • Repeat for all 5 tortillas.

3. Prepare and Apply Butter Topping:

  • In a small bowl, mix the 3 tablespoons of melted butter with the ⅓ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp Italian seasoning, and pinch of salt.
  • Place the rolled pizza burritos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet (for oven) or directly in the air fryer basket (in batches if necessary).
  • Generously brush the top and sides of each burrito with the garlic-herb butter mixture using a pastry brush.
  • Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of shredded Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered tops.

4. Bake or Air Fry:

  • Oven Method: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown, crispy, and the cheese inside is melted.
  • Air Fryer Method: Place burritos (seam-side down, possibly only 2-3 at a time depending on size) in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 7+ minutes, keeping a close eye on them. Cook until golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through if your air fryer requires it for even cooking.

5. Rest, Slice, and Serve:

  • Allow the baked pizza burritos to cool for about 5 minutes before handling and slicing. They will be very hot inside.
  • Using a sharp serrated knife, you can slice them in half diagonally or into smaller pinwheels if desired, or serve them whole.
  • Serve immediately, alone or with warm marinara sauce or Ranch dressing for dipping.
