Ingredients
Scale
Wraps
- 20 small tortillas (about 5-inches wide)
Filling
- 14 oz pizza sauce
- 24 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- 80 slices pepperoni
Seasoning & Oil
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
Instructions
- Prepare the tortillas: Lay out all tortillas on a clean surface so you can assemble the roll ups easily.
- Spread the sauce: Evenly spread a layer of the pizza sauce onto each tortilla, ensuring full coverage but not too thick to avoid sogginess.
- Add cheese and pepperoni: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then top with slices of pepperoni on each tortilla.
- Season the roll ups: Lightly sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt evenly over each tortilla for extra flavor.
- Roll them up: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log, sealing the edges to keep the filling secure during cooking.
- Heat the pan: Warm 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Cook the roll ups: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the hot pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside melts.
- Serve: Remove the roll ups from the pan and let them cool slightly before serving warm, optionally with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute pepperoni with other meats or vegetables according to preference.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if desired.
- To make them ahead, assemble but do not cook; refrigerate and cook just before serving.
- For crispier roll ups, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes instead of pan-frying.
- Watch carefully when pan-frying to avoid burning the tortillas.
