If you told me 10 years ago that I’d be creating pizzas out of tortilla wraps for a living, I’d have been too confused to even laugh. But here we are 🤣 Follow me…
Tortilla Wrap Hack
Like most trends on the internet, I’m usually a year or two late to try it. There’s only a handful that have grabbed my attention over the years and this is definitely one of them. Because if you’ve been here for a while, you know I’m mildly obsessed with tortilla wraps 😂
What is the viral tortilla wrap hack?
It’s essentially a folding technique that combines 4 different fillings to create 4 separate layers. I think I’ve seen just about every combination by this point, and I’m sure there’s a pizza version somewhere, but I’ve not seen them cooked in the way we’re going to do today.
What pizza fillings should I use?
You can really use anything you fancy, just make sure you cook any raw meat and fry and veg that needs it. Here’s what I recommend for the 4 segments:
Pizza Sauce – This is a must. I recommend using a thick pizza or marinara sauce, just so it doesn’t seep into the wraps too much. Veg – I’ve gone for peppers, onion, jalapeños and olives. Sweetcorn or mushrooms would also work great for this section. Protein/meat – I’ve opted for crumbled sausage, but cooked chicken or ham would go delightfully. Cheese – This is a must. I recommend shredded mozzarella.
Process shots: slice wrap from the centre down then add the fillings (photo 1), fold to make one stacked quarter (photos 2, 3 & 4).

Typically at this point you’d just toast the wrap and be done with it. However, you already know I had to take things a few steps further. 4 folded wraps so conveniently fit into a large pan, so it’s rude not to add them all in. After you’ve toasted both sides, you’re then (even more conveniently) left with a platform that creates the perfect base for more toppings. You see where I’m going with this 😅 Whack on some more sauce and cheese, add some pepperoni and pop the whole thing under the grill. You’re then left with the ultimate tortilla pizza. A pizza-based pizza. A pizza within a pizza etc etc etc. Process shots: add wraps to large pan (photo 1), toast both sides (photo 2), add pizza sauce (photo 3), add mozzarella and pepperoni then grill (photo 4).
How do I ensure the wraps don’t rip?
If your tortillas are feeling a little brittle or firm, consider popping them in the microwave to loosen them up.
How do I easily flip the wraps?
I slide a plastic spatula underneath it from the outside and lift it up. You can then pivot it and flip it over. Just be careful the fillings don’t fall out.
What if my pan isn’t big enough?
You can just fry them in two batches and place them on a baking tray to cook the topping.
Serving Tortilla Pizzas
As I’m sure you’ve gathered by now, this pizza is pretty darn hearty! The whole thing will serve 2, or 4 with a Side. I’ve opted for fries and salad below. After another tortilla pizza hack?
