Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls

  • 8 soft taco size flour tortillas
  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • 6 ounces package of full-size sliced pepperoni (approx. 80 slices; you will need 10 slices per pizza roll)
  • 8 string cheese sticks, room temperature
  • 2–3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Tortillas: Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce at the bottom of each flour tortilla, leaving a ¼ inch border around the edge.
  2. Add Pepperoni: Arrange 10 slices of pepperoni evenly on top of the pizza sauce on each tortilla.
  3. Add Cheese: Lay one whole string cheese stick on top of the pepperoni layer on each tortilla.
  4. Roll Up: Carefully and tightly roll each tortilla up with the filling inside, then place them seam side down. Repeat for all tortillas to form the rolls.
  5. Preheat Air Fryer: Remove the basket from your air fryer, lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray, leave the basket out, and preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-4 minutes.
  6. Brush with Olive Oil: Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the tops of each pizza roll with extra virgin olive oil for a crispy finish.
  7. Cook: Place 3-4 pizza rolls at a time into the air fryer basket, ensuring they have space between them. Cook at 375°F for 9-10 minutes or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve: Remove from the air fryer and serve the pizza rolls warm for the best melty experience.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze uncooked pizza rolls for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before air frying.
  • Tortilla Tip: If tortillas are cold or stiff, microwave them for 20-25 seconds to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
  • Cheese Tip: Use string cheese at room temperature for a meltier texture, but cold strings work as well.
  • Oil Substitution: You can substitute vegetable oil for olive oil if preferred. Avoid using butter for brushing as it may burn during air frying.
