What Ingredients are in Quick Wrap Pizzas?
These quick wrap pizzas couldn’t be simpler, which is exactly why they’re perfect for those nights when you want something homemade but don’t have the energy for a complicated recipe.
The ingredient list is pleasingly short, focusing on basics that deliver maximum flavor with minimum effort. You probably have most of these in your pantry and fridge already!
- Wraps (flour tortillas or flatbreads work perfectly)
- Cheese (about 1/2 cup per pizza, shredded)
- Tomato paste (2 tablespoons per pizza)
- Oregano (1 teaspoon per pizza)
- Optional extra toppings of your choice
The beauty of this recipe lies in its flexibility. While the base ingredients create a delicious classic pizza flavor, think of this as your blank canvas.
Any type of wrap works well—flour, whole wheat, even gluten-free options if you have dietary restrictions. For cheese, mozzarella is traditional, but cheddar, pepper jack, or a blend can add different flavor dimensions.
Don’t have tomato paste? Pizza sauce or even a thin layer of marinara will work in a pinch. And though oregano gives that authentic pizza herb flavor, Italian seasoning or just some basil would be lovely too.
How to Make these Quick Wrap Pizzas
Making these wrap pizzas couldn’t be simpler, and that’s exactly what we need sometimes, right? Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (about 350°F for those of us thinking in Fahrenheit).
While that’s warming up, take your wrap and place it on a baking sheet or pizza tray. Now comes the fun part—spread 2 tablespoons of tomato paste evenly across the surface of your wrap. This creates that perfect pizza base without the hours of dough-rising that traditional pizza requires.
Next, sprinkle about 1/2 cup of cheese over the tomato paste. I like to leave a tiny border around the edge so you get that nice crispy edge when it bakes—the part that’s secretly everyone’s favorite.
Finish the basic pizza by sprinkling 1 teaspoon of oregano across the top, which gives it that unmistakable pizza aroma that will start wafting through your kitchen. For precise, professional slicing later on, consider investing in a high end knife set that makes cutting through crispy edges effortless. A premium kitchen set can elevate your entire cooking experience from prep to presentation. If you’re feeling adventurous, this is when you’d add any additional toppings you might want—a few slices of mushroom, some torn basil leaves, or even some sliced pepperoni.
Pop your creation into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and just starting to brown at the edges and the wrap becomes crispy.
When your pizza comes out of the oven, give it a few minutes to cool down—I know it’s tempting to dive right in, but trust me, your taste buds won’t appreciate a burn. Just a couple of minutes will do, allowing the cheese to set slightly while the wrap maintains its crispiness.
Then slice it up however you prefer—pizza cutter, kitchen scissors, or a sharp knife all work well. The best part about this recipe is that from start to finish, you can have a hot, personalized pizza ready in about 15 minutes total. Who needs delivery?
Quick Wrap Pizzas Substitutions and Variations
Now that you’ve mastered the basic wrap pizza, let’s explore some fun substitutions and variations that’ll keep this quick meal exciting every time you make it.
Try swapping the tomato paste for pesto or hummus as your base.
Not feeling mozzarella? Crumbled feta or goat cheese work beautifully.
Veggie lovers can add thinly sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, or baby spinach.
For protein, sprinkle on some shredded chicken, crispy bacon bits, or plant-based alternatives.
Want something sweet? Spread Nutella on your wrap, add sliced bananas and a sprinkle of cinnamon for dessert pizza.
What to Serve with Quick Wrap Pizzas
While your wrap pizza makes a delicious meal on its own, pairing it with the right sides can elevate your dining experience to restaurant quality.
I love serving mine with a simple arugula salad dressed with lemon and olive oil—the peppery greens cut through the richness of the cheese perfectly.
For a heartier option, consider garlic knots or breadsticks for dipping into extra tomato sauce.
Need something invigorating? A cucumber and tomato salad works wonders.
Don’t forget beverages! A crisp soda, sparkling water with lime, or even a glass of wine (for the adults) completes the meal.
Dinner solved, right?
