Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 8-inch flour tortillas
- Approximately 4 tablespoons pizza sauce (your favorite store-bought brand)
- 20 slices pepperoni (about 5 per roll-up)
- 4 mozzarella string cheese sticks
- Olive oil or avocado oil, for brushing
Instructions
- Warm the Tortillas: Stack the 4 tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover them with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 20 seconds until the tortillas are warm and pliable, making them easier to roll. Alternatively, use a tortilla warmer to achieve the same effect.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking of the roll-ups.
- Prepare the String Cheese: Cut each mozzarella string cheese stick in half lengthwise to create smaller pieces that fit neatly inside the tortillas.
- Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over the bottom half of the tortilla. Arrange approximately 5 slices of pepperoni on top of the sauce, then place one piece of the halved string cheese over the pepperoni. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling to form a compact roll. Repeat this process for all tortillas to make 4 roll-ups total.
- Brush with Oil: Lightly brush the top of each rolled tortilla with olive oil or avocado oil. This step helps the rolls crisp up beautifully during air frying.
- Cook in the Air Fryer: Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they are spaced evenly and not overcrowded. Air fry at 375°F for 5 minutes, or until the exterior is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Carefully remove the crispy pizza roll-ups from the air fryer. Allow them to cool slightly before enjoying. These roll-ups are perfect on their own or served with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a crispier texture, you can lightly spray the roll-ups with cooking spray instead of brushing with oil.
- Feel free to customize the fillings by adding veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives.
- These roll-ups can be reheated in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to regain their crispness.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Be careful when removing the roll-ups from the air fryer as the cheese will be hot and molten.
