# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Everything you crave about pizza, but easier to eat and way more fun to pull apart.
  • You can prep a whole batch in the time it takes to order delivery, and they come out of the oven golden and bubbly every time.
  • Kids actually help with these because rolling tortillas feels like a craft project, not a chore.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting time after baking, or the cheese will ooze out everywhere when you try to slice them.
  • If your tortillas are cold from the fridge, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes so they roll without cracking.
  • Seam-side down is non-negotiable, I learned that the hard way when one unrolled in the oven and made a cheesy mess.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the rolls cleanly and quickly without squishing them.
  • If the tortillas start to crack, warm them for a few seconds in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel.
  • For extra flavor, brush the tops with garlic butter instead of plain oil before baking.
