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.
