Ingredients (Makes 16-20 Roll-Ups):
- 4 low-carb flour tortillas (8-inch or 10-inch work best)
- ½ cup pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup mini pepperoni (or regular pepperoni, finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter for pan-frying)
- Optional: ¼ teaspoon dried oregano, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes (for extra flavor)
Equipment:
- Large skillet or griddle
- Spatula
- Cutting board and sharp knife
Instructions:
1. Prep the Tortillas:
- Lay the low-carb flour tortillas flat on a clean surface.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
2. Layer with Cheese & Pepperoni:
- Sprinkle about ⅓ to ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce on each tortilla.
- Scatter roughly 2-3 tablespoons of mini pepperoni evenly over the cheese. If you’re using regular-sized pepperoni, you might want to dice them for better distribution in the roll-up.
- Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes over the toppings for an extra boost of flavor.
3. Roll ‘Em Up!
- Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a log. Press gently as you roll to ensure it’s compact.
4. Slice and Sear:
- Heat olive oil (or melt butter) in a large skillet or on a griddle over medium heat.
- Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla log into 4-5 “pinwheels” or rounds, about 1-inch thick.
- Place the roll-ups cut-side down into the hot skillet. Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
5. Cook to Crispy, Cheesy Perfection:
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbling. You may need to press down gently with your spatula to ensure good contact with the pan.
6. Serve Hot & Dip!
- Remove the Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Roll-Ups from the skillet and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Serve immediately with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
