Pizza Burritos

🌯🍕 Pizza Burritos — Full Recipe

Yield: 6 large burritos
Style: crispy tortilla, pizza filling, stretchy cheese, pepperoni, marinara

Ingredients

Pizza filling

• 6 large flour tortillas, 25–30 cm
• 300 g mozzarella, shredded
• 150 g pepperoni, sliced
• 200 g Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
• 150 g pizza sauce or thick marinara
• 100 g roasted red pepper, diced
• 80 g black olives, sliced
• 60 g Parmesan, finely grated
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp chili flakes
• ½ tsp black pepper

For the outside

• 30 g butter, melted
• 1 tbsp Parmesan
• ½ tsp oregano
• ¼ tsp garlic powder

To serve

• Warm pizza sauce
• Ranch or garlic sauce
• Fresh basil
• Chili oil or chili flakes

Method

1. Prepare the filling

Cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

Warm the pizza sauce and reduce it for a few minutes if it’s watery. The sauce needs to be thick so the burritos don’t become soggy.

Mix mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, peppers, olives, Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, chili flakes and pepper.

2. Build the burritos

Lay one tortilla flat.

Spread about 30 g pizza sauce down the center, leaving a border around the edges.

Add approximately 150 g of the cheese/meat mixture.

Fold the left and right sides inward, then tightly roll from the bottom into a sealed burrito.

Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

3. Crisp them

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Brush the outside of each burrito lightly with melted butter.

Place seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes until golden and sealed.

Turn and brown all sides, about 6–8 minutes total.

For extra crispiness, transfer them to a 220°C oven for 5–7 minutes after pan-searing.

4. Finish

Mix Parmesan, oregano and garlic powder. Brush the hot burritos with a tiny amount of melted butter and sprinkle with the Parmesan seasoning.

Let them rest 2–3 minutes, then slice diagonally.

Serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.

🔥 Best version

For a really good Pizza Burrito, use:

pepperoni + Italian sausage + mozzarella + Parmesan + marinara + roasted peppers + olives + oregano + chili flakes.

The trick is very thick sauce and plenty of low-moisture mozzarella—otherwise the tortilla gets wet before it becomes crispy.
