Ingredients
- 4 8-inch flour tortillas
- 4 tablespoons pizza sauce
- 20 slices pepperoni
- 2 mozzarella string cheese sticks
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Warm the tortillas: Stack the 4 tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 20 seconds until warm, or alternatively use a tortilla warmer to soften the tortillas before assembling.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 5 minutes while you prepare the roll ups.
- Prepare the cheese: Cut each mozzarella string cheese stick in half lengthwise, creating long thin pieces that will fit nicely inside the tortillas.
- Assemble the roll ups: Place a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce near the bottom edge of the tortilla. Layer 5 slices of pepperoni evenly over the sauce, then add the sliced mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni. Carefully roll up the tortilla tightly to encase all the ingredients. Repeat this process for each tortilla to make 4 roll ups total.
- Oil the roll ups: Brush the outside tops of each roll up evenly with olive oil. This step ensures a golden and crispy exterior when air frying.
- Air fry the roll ups: Place the pizza roll ups seam side down in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve and enjoy: Carefully remove the hot pizza roll ups from the air fryer, let them cool slightly, then serve. They taste fantastic dipped in extra pizza sauce.
Notes
- Microwaving the tortillas before assembling helps prevent cracking when rolling.
- Cutting the string cheese lengthwise allows it to melt evenly inside the roll-ups.
- You can customize these roll ups with your favorite pizza toppings or cheeses.
- For extra crispiness, brush an additional layer of olive oil after cooking and air fry for another minute if desired.
- Serve with warm pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
