Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 8-inch flour tortillas
- About 4 tablespoons pizza sauce (your favorite store-bought brand)
- 20 slices pepperoni (5 slices per roll-up)
- 4 mozzarella string cheese sticks
- Olive oil or avocado oil, for brushing
Instructions
- Warm the Tortillas: Stack the 4 tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover them with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 20 seconds to warm and soften the tortillas, making them more pliable for rolling. Alternatively, use a tortilla warmer.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the String Cheese: Cut each mozzarella string cheese stick in half lengthwise. This helps the cheese fit neatly inside the roll-ups.
- Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay one warm tortilla flat. Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce along the bottom edge. Layer 5 pepperoni slices over the sauce, then place one halved piece of string cheese on top. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling. Repeat for all tortillas.
- Brush with Oil: Lightly brush the top surface of each roll-up with olive or avocado oil. This will help create a crispy, golden crust during air frying.
- Cook in the Air Fryer: Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the air fryer basket, making sure there is space between them. Cook at 375°F for 5 minutes, or until the roll-ups are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Carefully remove the roll-ups from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. Serve as they are or with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Warming the tortillas prevents cracking when rolling.
- You can substitute pepperoni with other favorite pizza toppings like cooked sausage or veggies.
- Use avocado oil as a healthier alternative to olive oil if desired.
- Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for even crisping.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the brand/model of your air fryer.
- These roll-ups can be made ahead and reheated in the air fryer for a quick snack.
