Ingredients
Scale
4 large flour tortillas
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
1/2 cup beef pepperoni or cooked ground beef (optional)
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Olive oil or nonstick spray (for cooking)
Instructions
Prepare Your Fillings: Gather all your ingredients: pizza sauce, shredded cheese, vegetables, and optional meat. Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Assemble the Pockets: Lay one tortilla flat. Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on one half, leaving a border around the edge. Add mozzarella, veggies, and optional meat. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Fold the tortilla in half to form a semicircle.
Seal and Butter: Lightly brush the outside of each folded tortilla with melted butter to help them crisp up and brown.
Cook the Pockets: Place the pockets in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and melty insides.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice each pocket in half and serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping!
Notes
Swap in gluten-free tortillas or vegan cheese to suit dietary needs.
Try different fillings like olives, jalapeños, pineapple, or sausage.
