Crispy Baked Mozzarella Wraps with Spicy Honey Drizzle
These wraps feature gooey mozzarella encased in a crisp, golden tortilla shell — baked to perfection and finished with a luscious drizzle of spicy honey. They’re crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside, and perfectly balanced with that sweet-heat flavor. Great for snacks, light lunches, or party appetizers!
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4 wraps
Ingredients
For the Wraps:
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
4 medium flour tortillas
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt, to taste
Optional fillings: a few spinach leaves, roasted peppers, or turkey slices for extra flavor
For the Spicy Honey Drizzle:
3 tablespoons honey
¼ teaspoon chili flakes
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika or cayenne
½ teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Assemble the Wraps:
Lay out the tortillas and sprinkle ¼ of the mozzarella in the center of each one.
Add optional fillings if desired (spinach, roasted veggies, etc.).
Fold the sides inward, then roll up tightly like a burrito to enclose the cheese.
Place the wraps seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Brush and Bake:
Lightly brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1–2 minutes (watch closely!).
4. Make the Spicy Honey Drizzle:
Warm the honey slightly in a microwave or small saucepan.
Stir in chili flakes, paprika (or cayenne), lemon juice, and salt.
Let sit for a minute to infuse.
5. Serve:
Drizzle the spicy honey over warm mozzarella wraps or serve it on the side for dipping.
Notes & Tips
Add fresh basil or oregano inside for a Mediterranean twist.
Try a mix of mozzarella + cheddar for more depth of flavor.
To make it air fryer-friendly: cook at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, turning halfway.
For a milder version, skip chili flakes and use sweet honey with garlic powder instead.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with:
Greek salad or roasted veggie mix
Tomato basil dipping sauce or garlic yogurt dip
