• ⅓ cup marinara sauce
• ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• ½ cup Cup n Crisp pepperoni (or regular pepperoni slices, crisped)

---

Instructions

• Prepare the Pizza Base:
• Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
• Place one tortilla in the skillet and warm it for about 1-2 minutes on each side until soft and pliable. Repeat with the second tortilla.
• Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over each tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top, and then add the crispy pepperoni slices (or Cup n Crisp pepperoni).
• Allow the pizza base to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese begins to melt, then remove from the skillet.
• Prepare the Caesar Filling:
• In a separate bowl, combine the prepared Caesar salad with the fresh lemon juice (if using), salt, and pepper to taste. Toss to combine.
• Assemble the Wraps:
• Once the pizza base is ready, place a generous amount of the Caesar salad mixture over one half of each tortilla.
• Carefully fold the side with the filling over the other side to create a wrap.
• Serve:
• Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately. You can garnish with extra Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of extra Caesar dressing if desired.

Notes

For extra crunch, you can add some croutons to the Caesar salad before assembling the wrap.

If you want to reduce carbs, use low-carb tortillas instead of regular flour tortillas.

You can substitute the Cup n Crisp pepperoni with regular pepperoni or any other type of deli meat or protein if preferred.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pizza Base:
   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place each tortilla in the skillet one at a time, warming them for 1-2 minutes on each side until soft and lightly golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Assemble the Pizza Base:
   Spread about 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce onto each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Add the pepperoni on top of the cheese. If using Cup n Crisp pepperoni, it’s best to crisp it up first in a pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to bring out extra flavor and texture.
3. Melt the Cheese:
   Return the tortillas to the skillet (one at a time), and cook over medium-low heat for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can also cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt more evenly.
4. Prepare the Caesar Filling:
   In a separate bowl, combine the prepared Caesar salad with a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice (optional) and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together well.
5. Assemble the Wraps:
   Once the pizza base is ready and the cheese has melted, remove the tortillas from the skillet. Place the Caesar salad mixture in the center of each pizza tortilla. Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, creating a wrap.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
   Cut the wraps in half, serve immediately, and enjoy the delicious combination of cheesy pizza and fresh Caesar salad all in one bite!

Advanced Techniques

Here are some advanced tips and techniques to take your Pepperoni Pizza Caesar Wraps to the next level:

Crisp the Pepperoni for Extra Flavor:

For an extra crispy texture and enhanced flavor, crisp the pepperoni in a pan before adding it to the wrap. Simply place the pepperoni slices in a hot, dry skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they become crisp and slightly charred.

Use Homemade Caesar Salad:

If you want to go all-out, you can make your own Caesar salad dressing and fresh lettuce mix for a more personalized and flavorful wrap. Homemade Caesar dressing made from scratch will bring a richer taste to the wraps.

Add Extra Toppings:

For more flavor and texture, feel free to add toppings like sliced black olives, diced tomatoes, or even a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.

Grill the Wraps for a Crunchy Finish:

To give the wraps an extra crispy texture, grill them in a panini press or on a grill pan for 1-2 minutes on each side after rolling them up. This will add a nice crunch and a slightly charred flavor to the wraps.

Storage, Shelf Life, and Maintenance Tips

Making a batch of Pepperoni Pizza Caesar Wraps for later? Here’s how to store and maintain freshness:

Storage Tips:

• Refrigeration: If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the salad separate from the wraps until you’re ready to eat to prevent sogginess.
• Freezing: These wraps can be frozen! To freeze, wrap each one individually in plastic wrap or foil, and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 1-2 months.

Reheating:

• From the Fridge: To reheat, place the wraps in a skillet over low heat for about 5 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them for 30-45 seconds, but this may soften the tortillas.
• From the Freezer: If frozen, allow the wraps to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Then, heat them in a skillet or microwave as mentioned above.

Dietary Adaptations and Substitutions

This Pepperoni Pizza Caesar Wrap recipe can easily be adjusted to fit different dietary needs and preferences:

Gluten-Free Option:

To make these wraps gluten-free, simply swap out the regular tortillas for gluten-free tortillas. You can find a variety of gluten-free options at most grocery stores.

Dairy-Free Option:

For a dairy-free version, substitute the mozzarella cheese with a dairy-free cheese like Daiya or a homemade vegan cheese. Be sure to check that the Caesar salad is also dairy-free or opt for a dairy-free Caesar dressing.

Vegetarian Option:

To make the wraps vegetarian, simply leave out the pepperoni and replace it with roasted vegetables, mushrooms, or even veggie pepperoni. You could also add some plant-based protein like tofu or tempeh for a satisfying alternative.

Low-Carb/Keto Option:

For a low-carb or keto-friendly wrap, replace the tortillas with low-carb or keto-friendly wraps, which are widely available in stores or can be made at home using almond flour or coconut flour.

FAQs About The Recipe

Q1: Can I make the wraps ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the wraps in advance. Just assemble them without baking the cheese, and store them in the fridge until ready to bake. When ready to serve, simply heat them in a skillet or oven until the cheese is melted.

Q2: Can I use a different type of salad for the Caesar filling?
Certainly! While a classic Caesar salad works best, you can use any type of salad mix you like. A spinach or arugula salad would complement the flavors of the pizza base nicely.

Q3: Can I add more toppings to the wraps?
Yes, feel free to customize your wraps with additional toppings such as diced onions, bell peppers, or even a drizzle of ranch dressing for a twist on the classic Caesar flavor.

Q4: How do I make these wraps more crunchy?
If you prefer a crunchier texture, you can pan-fry the wraps after assembling them or even grill them for a crispier exterior. This adds a nice crunch to the tortillas.
