How To Make Baked Pizza Burritos
These pizza burritos are filled with cheesy pizza toppings, wrapped in soft flour tortillas, brushed with flavorful garlic butter, sprinkled with Parmesan, and baked or air fried until golden and crispy. They’re a fun and easy dinner the whole family will enjoy.
Step 1: Fill each tortilla with pizza sauce, shredded cheese, and your favorite toppings. You don’t need exact measurements, but avoid overfilling them and leave some space around the edges so they’re easier to fold.
Step 2: Fold each tortilla like a traditional burrito by folding in the sides and then rolling it tightly. Place the burritos seam-side down on a baking sheet or in your air fryer basket.
Step 3: Melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Brush the garlic butter generously over each pizza burrito.
Step 4: Sprinkle shredded Parmesan over the buttered burritos. This step is optional, but it adds a deliciously crispy and cheesy topping as they bake.
Step 5: Bake at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, or until the burritos are golden brown and crispy. For smaller batches, air fry them at 375°F for about 7 minutes, keeping a close eye on them as cooking times can vary.
Step 6: Let the pizza burritos cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them on their own or with extra pizza sauce for dipping. Ranch dressing is another tasty option, especially for kids.
These pizza burritos are crispy, buttery, cheesy, and packed with delicious pizza flavor. Fill them with pepperoni, olives, basil, or any toppings your family loves. You can even make each burrito different so everyone gets their favorite combination.
