What Kind of Tortillas Work Best for Pizza Burritos?

Look for large flour tortillas that are soft and flexible. Burrito-size wraps (10-inch) are perfect because they hold a generous amount of filling without tearing. If the tortillas feel stiff or cold, warm them briefly in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel to make them easier to roll.

Ingredients for the Pizza Burritos

To make these pizza burritos ultra flavorful and satisfying, we use a mix of classic pizza staples and melty goodness. Feel free to adjust based on what you have on hand!

Flour tortillas: These are the sturdy wrap that holds it all together. Choose burrito-size for maximum filling power.
Pizza sauce: Adds that unmistakable zesty tomato flavor. You can use homemade or store-bought.
Mozzarella cheese: Essential for that gooey, stringy pizza melt.
Mini pepperoni: Brings that familiar spicy bite in every roll.
Cooked sausage: Adds savory richness and protein.
Bell peppers: For crunch and sweetness.
Red onion: A touch of bite that balances the richness.
Italian seasoning: Elevates the whole mix with herbs like oregano and basil.
Olive oil or spray: Helps crisp up the burritos while baking or air frying.

How To Make the Pizza Burritos

Step 1: Prep Your Fillings

Chop your veggies, cook the sausage (if it’s not already), and set up your ingredients in an assembly line. This makes the rolling process fast and smooth.

Step 2: Fill and Roll

Lay out a tortilla and spread a spoonful of pizza sauce across the center. Add cheese, pepperoni, sausage, peppers, onions, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. Fold the sides in and roll up tightly like a burrito.

Step 3: Bake or Air Fry

Oven Method: Preheat to 400°F. Place burritos seam side down on a baking sheet. Lightly brush or spray with olive oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden and crisp.
Air Fryer Method: Set air fryer to 375°F. Lightly oil the burritos and cook in a single layer for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 4: Cool Slightly and Serve

Let them sit a minute or two before serving—the cheese will be molten! Slice in half or enjoy whole with extra sauce for dipping.

How to Serve and Store Pizza Burritos

Pizza burritos are best served hot right out of the oven or air fryer when the cheese is still perfectly gooey. They feed about 4 hungry people (1 to 2 burritos per person depending on size and fillings).

For leftovers, let them cool completely, then wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer for crispness or the microwave for speed. You can also freeze them (uncooked or cooked) for up to 2 months.
