A fun fusion dish, this wrap marries the classic flavors of pizza and salad.

A perfect choice for pizza lovers and salad enthusiasts alike!

Cooking Tips

  • Don’t Overbake the Tortillas: Be careful not to overbake the tortillas as this can make them hard to roll.
  • Substitute the Dressing: Feel free to substitute the Caesar dressing with ranch or blue cheese dressing for a different flavor.
  • Customize the Salad: Add extra veggies like cucumbers or tomatoes to the salad for added freshness and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cheese for the wrap?

Yes, you can substitute the mozzarella with other cheeses like cheddar or provolone if preferred.

Can I make this ahead of time?

For the best texture, it's recommended to prepare the wrap fresh, but you can prepare the pizza base (with sauce and cheese) ahead of time and refrigerate it until you're ready to add the salad.

Can I add more protein?

Yes! You can add grilled chicken, bacon, or even sausage to make the wrap heartier.

How to Store

If you have leftovers, store the wrapped sandwiches in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last up to 2 days, but the tortilla might get soft.

How to Freeze

We recommend freezing the pizza base (with sauce and cheese) before baking. Wrap tightly in plastic and foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw before baking and then follow the usual instructions to finish the dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 4 tbsp pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 16 slices of pepperoni
  • 1 large head of romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 3/4 cup croutons (optional)
  • 1oz shaved parmesan (optional)
  • 1/3–1/2 cup Caesar dressing (adjust to taste)

How to Make Viral Pizza Caesar Wraps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
  2. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the tortillas. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and place pepperoni slices on top.
  3. Place the tortillas on a baking tray and bake for 4-5 minutes, until the cheese melts.
  4. While the pizza base bakes, toss the lettuce with Caesar dressing, croutons, and parmesan in a large bowl.
  5. Once the pizza is ready, load it up with the salad, then tightly wrap it. Serve immediately and enjoy!
