Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cup n crisp pepperoni
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 large tortillas
Sauce and Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup marinara sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
Salad Ingredient:
- 1 (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) bag prepared Caesar salad (or about 3 cups homemade Caesar)
Instructions
- Prepare the broiler by adjusting the oven rack to the bottom position and heating to high intensity.
- Arrange flour tortillas on a sturdy baking sheet, ensuring they are separated to prevent overlapping.
- Distribute marinara sauce across the center of each tortilla, creating a thin, even layer that covers the surface.
- Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, covering it completely with a uniform cheese base.
- Carefully layer pepperoni slices atop the cheese, allowing them to slightly overlap for maximum flavor coverage.
- Slide the baking sheet under the broiler, monitoring closely as the cheese melts and pepperoni edges crisp and curl.
- Remove the tortillas once the cheese bubbles and pepperoni develops a rich, golden-brown rim, typically within 2-3 minutes.
- Craft the Caesar salad by combining ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, squeezing fresh lemon juice to enhance the flavor profile.
- Season the salad with a delicate balance of salt and pepper, tossing gently to ensure even distribution.
- Divide the Caesar salad evenly between the two prepared tortilla pizzas.
- Carefully roll each tortilla into a compact wrap, tucking in the sides to secure the fillings.
- Plate immediately and savor the warm, crispy Pepperoni Pizza Caesar Wraps while they’re at peak temperature and texture.
Notes
- Customize tortilla thickness for crispier or softer wraps by selecting different flour tortilla brands.
- Prevent soggy wraps by patting pepperoni slices with paper towels to remove excess oil before placing on tortillas.
- Experiment with cheese varieties like provolone or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles and added depth to the pizza wrap.
- Use gluten-free tortillas and dairy-free cheese alternatives to make this recipe suitable for specific dietary restrictions.
