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

–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:
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface.
- Spread 1β2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the entire surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
2. Add the Fillings:
- Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Place 5 slices of pepperoni evenly on top of the cheese.
- Lay one slice of ham on top of the pepperoni.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of Italian seasoning to enhance the flavor.
3. Roll It Up:
- Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a log, making sure the fillings stay in place.
- Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and fillings.
4. Grill the Roll:
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
- Brush the outside of each tortilla roll with melted butter to achieve a golden-brown, crispy texture.
- Place the roll-ups seam side down in the skillet. Cook for 3β4 minutes per side, using a spatula to gently press the rolls for even grilling. Flip carefully to avoid unrolling.
5. Slice and Serve:
- Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
- Slice each roll-up into bite-sized pieces or serve whole for a hearty snack.
- 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.
