Pizza Salad Wraps

These pizza salad wraps are the kind of meal you will love making all summer long. A tortilla is warmed in the oven with pizza sauce, melted cheese, and pepperoni, then filled with crisp Caesar salad and wrapped up for a fun and delicious meal. It is such a tasty combination because you get the comforting flavor of pizza along with the fresh crunch of salad, all in one easy wrap.
For the salad portion of the wrap, you can definitely make things easier by using a Caesar salad kit. That is a great shortcut when you want this meal to come together quickly. I usually make my own simple version with chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and a little Parmesan cheese. It gives the wrap that fresh, crisp salad element that pairs so well with the warm pizza flavors.
These pizza salad wraps work especially well for summer because they are quick, easy, and lighter than traditional pizza. They make a great option for lunches, simple dinners, or those hot days when you want something satisfying without making a heavy meal. With the fresh salad tucked inside, they feel crisp and fun while still giving you those familiar pizza flavors everyone loves.

Instructions for Pizza Salad Wraps
Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the tortillas on the prepared baking sheet, then spread each one with pizza sauce. Top them with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.
Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the tortillas are lightly golden. While the tortillas bake, prepare the salad filling. Add the romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese to a bowl and toss until the lettuce is evenly coated.
Once the warm tortillas come out of the oven, divide the dressed salad evenly between the four wraps, placing it down the center of each tortilla. Roll each one up tightly like a burrito, then slice in half if desired. Serve right away, with extra pizza sauce or Caesar dressing on the side for dipping if you like.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Romaine works especially well because it stays crisp, but you could also use chopped iceberg or a salad blend if that is what you have on hand.

Do I serve these warm or cold?
They are best served right away while the tortilla is still warm and the salad is crisp.
What kind of tortillas work best?
Large flour tortillas work best because they are easy to fill and roll like a wrap.
Can I make these without pepperoni?

Extra pizza sauce or Caesar dressing is both great for dipping, depending on which flavor you want to highlight more.
Tips and Tricks
- Use large flour tortillas. They are the easiest to fill and roll without tearing.
- Do not overbake the tortillas. Keep them flexible enough to wrap by baking only until the cheese is melted and the edges are lightly golden.
- Use crisp romaine lettuce. It gives the wraps the best fresh crunch.
- Toss the salad right before serving. That helps keep the wraps from getting soggy.
- Serve them right away. They taste best when the tortilla is warm and the salad is crisp.
