Ingredients
- 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 4 sticks mozzarella string cheese, halved lengthwise
- 20 slices pepperoni (or turkey pepperoni for a lighter option)
- 4 tablespoons pizza sauce (plus more for dipping)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil for a healthier twist)
Equipment Needed
- Air fryer
- Microwave or tortilla warmer
- Pastry brush (for oil)
- Cutting board & knife
- Tongs (for safe air fryer removal)
Instructions
Step 1: Warm the Tortillas
Stack tortillas on a microwave-safe plate with a damp paper towel on top. Microwave for 20 seconds to make them soft and easy to roll.
Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheese
Slice each mozzarella cheese stick in half lengthwise.
Step 4: Assemble the Roll Ups
- Lay one tortilla flat.
- Spread 1 tablespoon pizza sauce near the bottom third.
- Add about 5 pepperoni slices over the sauce.
- Place 2 cheese stick halves on top.
- Roll up tightly from the bottom.
Repeat for all tortillas.
Step 5: Brush with Oil
Lightly brush the tops of each roll up with olive oil. This gives them that perfect golden crisp.
Step 6: Air Fry to Perfection
Place the roll ups seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the outside is crispy and golden brown.
Step 7: Serve & Dip
Let cool for 1–2 minutes. Slice in half or serve whole with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Tips & Variations
- Add veggies: Finely chopped bell peppers or mushrooms work great.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper or Italian seasoning.
- Low-carb option: Use low-carb tortillas or cheese wraps.
- Gluten-free: Swap for gluten-free tortillas and ensure your pepperoni is certified GF.
