Ingredients
4 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
20 to 24 slices pepperoni
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or preheat and lightly spray the air fryer basket.
2. Warm tortillas for 15-20 seconds in the microwave or briefly on a dry skillet to make them flexible.
3. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of marinara on each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border. Add mozzarella, cheddar, and 5-6 slices of pepperoni per wrap. Add any other toppings.
4. Fold in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom. Place seam-side down on baking sheet or air fryer basket.
5. Brush with olive oil or butter, then sprinkle garlic powder, oregano, and Parmesan over the top.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes (oven) or air fry 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
7. Let cool slightly, garnish with basil, and serve with extra marinara for dipping.
Notes
Avoid overfilling the burrito to keep the shape intact and prevent leaks during baking.
Always brush the outside with oil or butter to get that signature golden, crispy finish.
Warm tortillas before rolling to make them more pliable and easier to work with.
