Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
8 low-carb tortillas
½ cup pizza sauce
48 slices pepperoni
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each tortilla, keeping it about half an inch from the edges.
Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each tortilla.
Arrange 6 slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese in a single layer.
Roll each tortilla up tightly and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are lightly golden.
Let cool for a few minutes before slicing each roll-up in half. Serve warm.
Vegetarian Version: Omit pepperoni and add sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives.
Spicy Roll-Ups: Add crushed red pepper flakes or use spicy pepperoni.
Different Cheese: Try cheddar, provolone, or a blend of Italian cheeses.
Air Fryer Option: Cook at 375°F for 6–8 minutes until crispy and golden.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free tortillas to make it gluten-free friendly.
Mini Roll-Ups: Use smaller tortillas and cut into bite-sized pinwheels for party snacks.
Storage/Reheating
Store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or heat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes until warm and crispy. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the tortilla from getting soggy.
FAQs
How do I keep the tortillas from unrolling during baking?
Place the roll-ups seam-side down on the baking sheet. You can also secure them with a toothpick if needed.
Can I freeze these roll-ups?
Yes, wrap them individually in foil or plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven or air fryer.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely. Assemble them a few hours in advance, store in the fridge, and bake when ready to serve.
What kind of tortillas should I use?
Low-carb flour tortillas work best, but any soft tortilla will do. Just avoid ones that are too thick or stiff.
Is there a dairy-free version?
Yes, substitute the cheese with a dairy-free shredded cheese alternative.
Can I use pizza dough instead of tortillas?
You can, but the baking time will be longer, and the result will be more like a traditional calzone.
What dipping sauces go well with this?
Marinara, ranch dressing, garlic butter, or even a spicy aioli pair wonderfully.
Are these suitable for keto?
Yes, as long as you use low-carb tortillas and keep the sauce low in sugar.
Can I cook these on a stovetop instead?
Yes, place them in a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook each side for about 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy.
How do I keep them crispy after reheating?
Use an oven or air fryer for reheating instead of the microwave to maintain their crispiness.
