Pepperoni Pizza Rollups turn four familiar pizza ingredients into crisp, cheese-crusted handheld rolls. Instead of putting cheese only inside, each tortilla is pressed directly onto melted mozzarella, creating a deeply golden exterior around pizza sauce and pepperoni.
The recipe makes 8 rollups in just 12 minutes, with 5 minutes of preparation and 7 minutes of cooking. Work one rollup at a time in a nonstick skillet so every cheese layer browns cleanly and every tortilla rolls while warm.
Pepperoni Pizza Rollup Ingredients
You need 4 cups shredded mozzarella, 8 low-carb tortillas, ½ cup pizza sauce, and exactly 48 pepperoni slices. That allocation provides ½ cup cheese, 1 tablespoon sauce, and 6 pepperoni slices for each rollup.
Measure everything before heating the pan. Once the mozzarella reaches the golden stage, the tortilla needs to be pressed, flipped, filled, and rolled without delay. Having 8 equal ingredient portions ready makes the seven-minute cooking window realistic.
