Ingredients
- 4 medium (6-inch) flour or low-calorie tortillas (can use whole wheat or gluten-free)
- 1 cup (112g) shredded mozzarella cheese (part-skim or plant-based if desired)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) pizza sauce or marinara (thick, not watery)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Lay out 4 medium tortillas on a flat surface. If stiff, microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each tortilla, spreading evenly and leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella over the sauce on each tortilla.
- Tightly roll each tortilla into a log, placing seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Slice each roll into 4 or 5 equal pieces (about 1.5-inch each). Arrange cut side up on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and edges are golden.
- Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
Notes
Don’t overfill the rolls to prevent bursting. Use fresh, flexible tortillas for best results. For extra flavor, sprinkle with Italian herbs or brush tops with olive oil before baking. Rolls can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking, or frozen after baking for a quick snack. For vegan or gluten-free versions, use plant-based cheese and gluten-free tortillas.
