Why You’ll Love These Wraps

  • Big Flavor, Simple Ingredients – Just 5 basic components, but each bite is packed with savory, cheesy, tangy goodness.
  • Speedy & Satisfying – From start to finish in 10 minutes flat.
  • Family-Friendly Favorite – Even the pickiest eaters will devour this twist on classic comfort food.
  • Customizable – Swap in your favorite pizza toppings or go vegetarian—these wraps are endlessly versatile.

Essential Ingredients & Smart Tips

  • Tortilla Wraps – Use large (10-inch) flour tortillas for easy rolling. Whole wheat adds nutrition, but any pliable wrap works.
  • Marinara Sauce – A high-quality store-bought sauce like Rao’s provides deep, authentic flavor.
  • Low-Moisture Mozzarella – Melts beautifully without making your wrap soggy. Avoid fresh mozzarella.
  • Cup ‘n Crisp Pepperoni – These little pepperoni cups get ultra-flavorful when broiled. Regular slices work too.
  • Caesar Salad Kit – A pre-packaged kit keeps things simple. Add fresh lemon juice and extra black pepper to brighten it up.

How to Make Pepperoni Pizza Caesar Wraps

1. Build the Pizza Base

Preheat your broiler on high and line a baking sheet with two large tortillas. Spread 2 tablespoons marinara sauce on each tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border. Sprinkle each with ¼ cup mozzarella and top with ¼ cup pepperoni slices.

2. Broil Until Bubbly

Place the baking sheet on the middle rack, about 6 inches from the broiler. Broil for 2–3 minutes, until cheese is melted and the pepperoni is sizzling and crisp. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

3. Prep the Caesar Salad

In a large mixing bowl, toss the Caesar salad kit with the included dressing. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to enhance flavor. You’ll want about 1½ cups of salad per wrap.

4. Wrap It Up

Let the warm pizza bases cool for about 30–45 seconds (this keeps the salad crisp and the cheese pliable). Spoon the salad onto one half of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up.

5. Slice & Serve

Let each wrap rest for 30 seconds, then slice diagonally and serve immediately while the textures are at their best.

Pro Tips for Wrap Success

✔ Don’t Overload with Sauce – A thin layer is enough; too much can cause the wrap to tear.
✔ Timing is Everything – Let the base cool just enough to keep the lettuce crisp, but not so much the cheese hardens.
✔ Boost the Caesar Salad – Add fresh-grated Parmesan, extra black pepper, or even a pinch of red pepper flakes for zing. ✔ Try Hot Honey – Drizzle over the pepperoni before broiling for a sweet and spicy flavor punch.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I use different tortillas?
Yes! Whole wheat, spinach, low-carb—just be sure they’re large and flexible enough to roll.

→ How can I make these vegetarian?
Skip the pepperoni and sub in grilled veggies, olives, mushrooms, or a plant-based alternative.

→ Can I make these ahead?
For best texture, assemble just before eating. You can prep the pizza base ahead and reheat briefly before adding the fresh salad.

→ What pairs well with these wraps?
Serve with chips, tomato soup, or a side of marinated veggies for a more complete meal.

→ Can I use homemade Caesar salad?
Absolutely! Toss chopped romaine with your favorite dressing, add croutons and Parmesan, and you’re good to go.
