Mediterranean Baked Pizza Wraps
These Mediterranean Baked Pizza Wraps combine the best of two worlds: the cozy comfort of a cheesy pizza and the hand-held convenience of a wrap. With a mix of mozzarella, feta, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted peppers, and fresh herbs, each bite is packed with tangy, savory, and herby flavors. They’re quick enough for a weeknight dinner and fun for casual gatherings.
Time
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 12–15 minutes
Total time: 22–25 minutes
Ingredients
4 large whole-wheat or regular flour tortillas
1 cup pizza sauce (or tomato passata with olive oil & herbs)
1 to 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
¼ cup Kalamata olives, sliced
¼ cup roasted red peppers, sliced
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced (optional)
1 teaspoon dried oregano or za’atar
Olive oil (for brushing)
Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Assemble the wraps:
Lay a tortilla flat. Spread 2–3 tablespoons of pizza sauce over the surface, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle with mozzarella and feta.
Evenly distribute sun-dried tomatoes, olives, roasted red peppers, and zucchini slices (if using).
Sprinkle oregano or za’atar over the top.
Roll them up:
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling.
Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Brush and bake:
Lightly brush the tops with olive oil for a golden finish.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are crisp and lightly browned.
Garnish and serve:
Let cool slightly before slicing in half (if desired).
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve warm.
Tips
Don’t overfill: Too much filling will make it harder to roll and may cause leaks while baking.
Seal with cheese: Place a little cheese near the edge before rolling—when it melts, it helps hold the wrap together.
Crispier texture: Bake directly on the oven rack for the last 2–3 minutes.
Make ahead: You can assemble the wraps, refrigerate them for up to 24 hours, and bake when ready.
Control the salt: Feta, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes are salty, so you might not need extra salt in the sauce.
Variations
Protein boost: Add cooked chicken strips, turkey slices, or chickpeas for extra protein.
Extra veggie: Add roasted eggplant, spinach, or artichoke hearts for more Mediterranean flair.
Cheese swap: Try halloumi or goat cheese instead of feta.
Spicy kick: Add sliced chili peppers or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Mini version: Use small tortillas to make appetizer-sized wraps for parties.
Q&A
Q: Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
A: Yes. Assemble them, store in the fridge for up to 24 hours, and bake just before serving.
Q: Can I use pita bread instead of tortillas?
A: Yes, but choose thin pita so it rolls more easily. Thicker pita may need to be warmed first to prevent cracking.
Q: How do I keep the wraps from unrolling?
A: Roll them tightly and place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brushing with a little olive oil also helps crisp and seal them.
Q: Can these be frozen?
A: Yes. Wrap tightly in foil or cling film before freezing. Bake from frozen at 350°F (175°C) for about 20–25 minutes.
Q: How do I make them vegan?
A: Use dairy-free mozzarella and feta alternatives, and check that your tortillas are vegan-friendly.
