  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup beef turkey pepperoni, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup low-sugar pizza sauce
  • 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 6–8 whole wheat tortillas (8-inch)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook the lean ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, finely diced beef beef pepperoni, low-sugar pizza sauce, shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Step 3: Lay one whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the beef and turkey pepperoni mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Step 4: Tightly roll up the tortilla, starting from one edge, ensuring the filling is enclosed. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Step 5: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a sharp knife to carefully cut each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick "rolls" (you should get 6-8 rolls per tortilla).
  6. Step 6: Arrange the pizza rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in your air fryer basket. Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or air fry for 8-10 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Notes

  • Keep leftover rolls fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, or freeze them for longer-lasting deliciousness.
  • For best results, reheat leftover rolls in an oven or air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 5-8 minutes until warmed through and crispy, avoiding the microwave to maintain their delightful texture.
  • Serve these savory rolls warm with a side of extra low-sugar pizza sauce for dipping, or alongside a crisp green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
  • For perfectly shaped rolls that hold their filling, ensure you roll the tortillas as tightly as possible before cutting, and always place them seam-side down on the baking sheet to prevent unraveling.
