Chicken Pepperoni Pizza Melts
A delicious fusion of crispy chicken, gooey cheese, and zesty pepperoni wrapped in warm tortillas, perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekends.
Ingredients
For the Melts
- 3 pieces frozen chicken burger patties like Great Value or similar, offering a deliciously tender and juicy base for your melts
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese creamy and rich, ready to melt to perfection
- 0.5 cups pizza sauce aromatic with a blend of spices, adding that authentic pizza flavor
- 18 slices pepperoni crisp and flavorful, packing a punch in every bite
- 3 large protein tortilla wraps or regular large tortillas, providing a soft and pliable wrapper
Instructions
Cooking the Chicken
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add frozen chicken patties to the skillet and cook for about 6 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip the patties over and continue cooking until they reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
- Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and slice each into six strips.
Assembling the Melts
- Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese down the center of each tortilla.
- Place six strips of the sliced chicken on top of the cheese in each tortilla.
- Spoon pizza sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is coated.
- Add six pepperoni slices on top of the sauce for each wrap.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni.
- Fold the sides of each tortilla up and over the filling to create a wrap.
Cooking the Wraps
- Heat a clean skillet over medium-low heat and place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet.
- Cook the wraps until golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
- Gently flip the wraps and cook until the other side is browned, another 5 minutes or so.
- Once both sides are golden, remove from the skillet and slice in half if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
These pizza melts are great for family movie nights, paired with marinara sauce for dipping.
