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.
