Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas (10 inch)
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/4 cup caesar dressing
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/2 tsp italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 tsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, toss the 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce with the 1/4 cup caesar dressing and 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Lay out 4 large flour tortillas (10 inch) flat on a work surface and spread a thin layer of 1/4 cup pizza sauce over the surface, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp italian seasoning.

  3. 3

    Scatter the 1/2 cup chopped pepperoni slices and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

  4. 4

    Pile the dressed romaine mixture in a line across the center third of each tortilla.

  5. 5

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom into a burrito shape.

  6. 6

    Melt the 2 tsp unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down and press with a spatula. Toast, turning occasionally, until deep golden and crisp on all sides and the cheese has melted, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  7. 7

    Slice each wrap in half on a diagonal and serve warm.

Questions

Can I make Pepperoni Pizza Caesar Wrap dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded, 2 tsp unsalted butter) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free lunch collection instead.

Can I make Pepperoni Pizza Caesar Wrap gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 4 large flour tortillas (10 inch). Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Pepperoni Pizza Caesar Wrap keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat uncovered in a 400 F oven (or an air fryer) for a few minutes to bring the crust back; the microwave softens it.

Can I halve or double Pepperoni Pizza Caesar Wrap?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
