Ingredients

  • 20 small flour tortillas (5-inch)
  • 14 oz pizza sauce
  • 24 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 80 slices pepperoni
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a large baking pan with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: Lay out each tortilla and spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over it. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top, then add 4 to 5 slices of pepperoni.
  3. Step 3: Roll up the tortilla tightly and place it seam side down on the prepared baking pan to hold its shape while baking.
  4. Step 4: Brush the tops of each roll with cooking oil to help them crisp up during baking.
  5. Step 5: In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt together. Sprinkle this seasoning blend evenly over the tops of the roll-ups.
  6. Step 6: Bake the roll-ups in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the edges are lightly golden.

Tips & Variations

  • For a vegetarian version, swap pepperoni for sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives.
  • Try using whole wheat or spinach tortillas for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Serve with extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

Storage

Store leftover pizza roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven at 350°F until warmed through to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

Three rolled cannelloni pasta tubes are placed side by side on a round white plate. Each tube is covered with melted white cheese that has sprinkled green herbs on top, and each is decorated with two brownish-red, round pepperoni slices evenly spaced along the length. The pasta inside shows a slight red hue, indicating a tomato-based filling. The plate sits on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I freeze pizza roll ups?

Yes, you can freeze them before baking. Arrange them on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Can I use other types of cheese?

Absolutely! While mozzarella is classic, you can mix in cheddar, provolone, or even a sprinkle of parmesan for different flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute pepperoni with other pizza toppings like cooked sausage or vegetables for variety.
  • For extra crispiness, you may broil the roll ups for 1-2 minutes after baking but watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • Use corn tortillas if you prefer a gluten-free version, but note the flavor and texture difference.
  • Serve hot with extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
  • These roll ups can be made ahead and frozen before baking; just add a few extra minutes to baking time if cooking from frozen.
