Why You’ll Love This Pizza Burritos Recipe

This recipe takes everything we love about pizza—the melty cheese, zesty tomato sauce, and irresistible toppings—and bundles it in a soft flour tortilla for the ultimate grab-and-go meal. Kids love the novelty, adults appreciate the ease, and they’re just as good for dinner as they are for lunchboxes. You also get full creative control over the fillings, so everyone can have their favorite version.

What Kind of Tortilla Should I Use for Pizza Burritos?

Flour tortillas are the best option here because they’re sturdy enough to hold the generous pizza fillings and still stay soft and pliable. Look for burrito-size tortillas so you can wrap everything without spillage. If you want to add some flair, try using garlic herb tortillas or even sun-dried tomato wraps for an extra punch of flavor.

Ingredients for the Pizza Burritos

This recipe is as fun to make as it is to eat. The ingredients are simple, but each one plays a key role in building up the perfect bite.

Flour Tortillas: These are your wrappers, so make sure they’re big enough to fold burrito-style without tearing.

Pizza Sauce: Gives that classic tomato base that ties all the flavors together. You can use store-bought or homemade.

Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: The melty glue that makes everything deliciously gooey.

Pepperoni Slices: A classic pizza topping, but feel free to substitute with sausage, cooked bacon, or even grilled veggies.

Cooked Italian Sausage: Adds richness and a touch of spice. You can also go meatless if you prefer.

Sautéed Bell Peppers & Onions: These bring color, texture, and sweetness to the mix.

Olives or Mushrooms: Optional, but add a great burst of flavor if you’re a fan.

Garlic Powder & Dried Oregano: Just a pinch of these boosts the pizza aroma and gives that classic seasoning touch.

Olive Oil: For brushing the tortillas so they bake up golden and crisp.

How To Make the Pizza Burritos

Step 1: Prepare Your Fillings

Cook your sausage, sauté your veggies, and get everything chopped and ready to go. Warm your tortillas slightly so they fold without cracking.

Step 2: Build the Burritos

Lay out a tortilla and spread 2-3 tablespoons of pizza sauce in the center. Add a generous handful of mozzarella, then top with your favorite fillings like pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, and olives. Sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano.

Step 3: Wrap and Seal

Fold the sides in first, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up, like a burrito. Place seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and bake at 375°F for about 15-18 minutes, or until the outside is lightly crisp and golden brown.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Let them cool slightly before serving. The cheese inside will be piping hot and perfectly gooey.

How to Serve and Store Pizza Burritos

Pizza Burritos are perfect for casual dinners, kids’ lunchboxes, or anytime you need a delicious snack with minimal mess. One batch usually makes about 6 large burritos, which can feed 4 to 6 people depending on appetite. They’re just as tasty cold as they are warm, and can be wrapped in foil and kept in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven or air fryer until warmed through. They also freeze beautifully—just wrap individually and reheat straight from frozen.
