Pepperoni Pizza Caesar Wraps: A Bold and Satisfying Fusion Meal

Quick Benefits

Pepperoni Pizza Caesar Wraps combine the crave-worthy elements of pizza with the freshness of Caesar salad, all rolled into a convenient and satisfying wrap. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and perfect for lunch, dinner, or a hearty snack.

Essential Ingredients

For the Pizza Base

• 2 large tortillas
• ⅓ cup marinara sauce
• ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• ½ cup Cup n Crisp pepperoni

For the Caesar Filling

• 1 (10.5 oz) bag prepared Caesar salad (or about 3 cups homemade Caesar)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation Steps

1. Place 2 flour tortillas on a baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
2. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce evenly across the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then top with pepperoni.
3. Broil the tortillas on the bottom rack of your oven for a few minutes until the pepperoni is crispy and the cheese is melted. Remove and set aside.
4. While the tortillas are broiling, prepare the salad. Add your Caesar kit or homemade Caesar to a large bowl. Toss with lemon juice (if using), and season with salt and pepper.
5. Place half the Caesar salad on each pizza base. Roll tightly into wraps and serve immediately while warm.

Health Benefits

These wraps offer a balance of carbs, protein, and fats. Using a Caesar salad base adds crunch and freshness, while pepperoni and mozzarella bring satisfying protein and calcium. You can lighten the meal by choosing low-fat cheese, whole wheat tortillas, or a lighter salad dressing.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these wraps warm with a side of sweet potato fries, fruit salad, or a light soup. They make great picnic or lunchbox additions and can be sliced into pinwheels for party platters.

Creative Variations

• Veggie Version: Swap pepperoni for grilled veggies or plant-based sausage.
• Extra Flavor: Add chopped olives, banana peppers, or a sprinkle of Parmesan.
• Spicy Kick: Mix red pepper flakes or hot sauce into the marinara.

Storage Tips

Best served fresh, but you can prepare the pizza base ahead of time and reheat before assembling with salad. Store components separately for up to 2 days.

Pro Tips

• Don’t overload the wrap to keep it easy to roll.
• Broil just until cheese bubbles and edges crisp up for optimal texture.
• Add salad just before serving to avoid soggy wraps.
