Ingredients

–Tortillas: 4 large (flour or whole wheat)

–Pizza Sauce: 4–6 tablespoons (adjust per preference)

–Mozzarella Cheese: 2 cups, shredded (for a melty texture)

–Pepperoni: 20 slices (approximately 5 slices per roll-up)

–Ham: 4 slices, thinly sliced (one per tortilla)

–Italian Seasoning: 1 teaspoon (or as desired for flavor)

–Butter: 2 tablespoons, melted (for brushing)

Equipment

-Skillet or grill pan

-Pastry brush

-Knife for slicing

-Spatula

Instructions

1. Prepare the Tortilla:

  1. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface.
  2. Spread 1–2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the entire surface, leaving a small border around the edges.

2. Add the Fillings:

  1. Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  2. Place 5 slices of pepperoni evenly on top of the cheese.
  3. Lay one slice of ham on top of the pepperoni.
  4. Sprinkle with a pinch of Italian seasoning to enhance the flavor.

3. Roll It Up:

  1. Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a log, making sure the fillings stay in place.
  2. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and fillings.

4. Grill the Roll:

  1. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
  2. Brush the outside of each tortilla roll with melted butter to achieve a golden-brown, crispy texture.
  3. Place the roll-ups seam side down in the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, using a spatula to gently press the rolls for even grilling. Flip carefully to avoid unrolling.

5. Slice and Serve:

  1. Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
  2. Slice each roll-up into bite-sized pieces or serve whole for a hearty snack.
  3. Pair with a small bowl of warm pizza sauce for dipping.

Tips for the Perfect Cheesy Pepperoni Roll-Up:

  • Cheese Variation: Experiment with other cheeses like provolone or cheddar for a different flavor.
  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute pepperoni and ham with sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the roll-ups and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before grilling.

Enjoy your crispy, cheesy, and flavor-packed Pepperoni Roll-Up as a snack, appetizer, or quick meal!
