Description
These crispy, cheesy chicken pepperoni pizza melts wrap classic pizza flavors—chicken, pepperoni, mozzarella, and pizza sauce—into golden, toasted tortillas for a quick, satisfying handheld meal.
Ingredients
3 frozen chicken burger patties, cooked and sliced or chopped
3 large protein tortilla wraps (about 10 inches)
18–24 pepperoni slices (6–8 per melt)
1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
1/2 cup pizza sauce, plus more for dipping
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (optional)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Olive oil or melted butter, for brushing
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook chicken patties per package directions (air fryer: 400°F for 10–12 minutes; skillet: 8–10 minutes). Let rest and slice or chop.
- Warm tortillas for 10–15 seconds per side to make pliable.
- For each tortilla, spread 2–3 tablespoons pizza sauce over half. Layer mozzarella, chicken, pepperoni, Parmesan (if using), Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
- Fold tortillas into half-moons and press gently to seal.
- Skillet method: Brush both sides with oil or butter, cook over medium heat 2–3 minutes per side until golden and melted.
- Air fryer method: Spritz with oil, air fry at 380°F for 5–6 minutes, flipping once.
- Rest 1 minute, slice, and serve with extra pizza sauce and herbs.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken as a quick alternative to patties.
Swap pizza sauce for BBQ sauce or Buffalo sauce for a twist.
Try different cheeses like provolone, Monterey Jack, or gouda.
Brush with garlic butter for extra flavor.
Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
