Instructions
- Arrange two flour tortillas on a baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.
- Apply a thin, consistent layer of marinara sauce across the center of each tortilla, creating a flavorful base.
- Distribute mozzarella cheese shreds evenly over the sauce, covering the entire surface with a generous sprinkle.
- Layer pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, creating a classic pizza-style coverage.
- Position the baking sheet on the bottom oven rack and broil on high for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully until pepperoni crisps and cheese melts completely.
- Remove pizza bases from the oven and let them rest momentarily while preparing the salad.
- Combine Caesar salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl, ensuring thorough integration of components.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salad to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Season the salad mixture with salt and pepper, tossing gently to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Divide the Caesar salad equally between the two warm tortilla pizzas.
- Carefully roll each tortilla into a compact wrap, ensuring the fillings are securely enclosed.
- Serve immediately while the wraps remain warm and the textures are at their peak.
Notes
- Toast tortillas at high heat to ensure crispy edges and prevent sogginess.
- Drain excess oil from pepperoni before adding to reduce greasiness and make wraps lighter.
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken as a protein alternative for a healthier twist.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like provolone or parmesan to enhance flavor complexity.
