• Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist and added flavor.
• Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or a blend for varied taste.
• Brush with garlic butter instead of olive oil for an extra savory touch.

Storage

Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes or until heated through and crispy. Avoid microwaving to keep the texture crisp.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the rolls and keep them covered in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking. Just add a couple of extra minutes to baking time if baking straight from cold.

Can I freeze tortilla pizza rolls?

Absolutely! Freeze the assembled rolls on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-18 minutes, or until heated through and golden.
