Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1/2 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup no-sugar-added tomato sauce
- 12 slices turkey pepperoni
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Olive oil spray, as needed
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface, and have your low-fat mozzarella, tomato sauce, turkey pepperoni, and seasoning ready for assembly.
- Assemble the Rolls: Spread a thin, even layer of tomato sauce over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Next, sprinkle the Italian seasoning evenly to enhance flavor. Add a layer of turkey pepperoni slices, and top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Roll Them Up: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly but without squeezing out the filling. Make sure the seam is tucked underneath to keep your pizza rolls sealed during baking.
- Slice and Arrange: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortillas into 1.5 to 2-inch pieces to create individual pizza rolls. Place them on a lined baking sheet with the cut side facing up, giving them enough space to crisp up on all sides.
- Bake Until Golden: Lightly spray the top of the pizza rolls with olive oil spray to help them crisp beautifully. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbly and melted.
Notes
- Use whole wheat tortillas to add fiber without sacrificing flavor or texture.
- Don’t overload the filling; a thin layer helps the rolls bake evenly without sogginess.
- Seal edges carefully by tucking the seam underneath to prevent unraveling during baking.
- Opt for part-skim mozzarella to keep the rolls cheesy but lower in calories.
- Keep an eye on baking time to avoid drying out the rolls; look for golden edges.
