Pizza Roll-Ups
These crispy Pizza Roll-Ups are made with flour tortillas, string cheese, pepperoni, and pizza sauce, then brushed with buttery basil topping and baked until golden brown. They’re an easy, kid-friendly snack, lunch, or party appetizer that delivers all the flavors of pizza in a handheld, dippable bite.
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 small flour tortillas (approximately 6-inch)
- 6 to 8 string cheese sticks
- 12 to 16 tablespoons pizza sauce (about 2 tablespoons per tortilla)
- 24 to 32 slices pepperoni (3 to 4 slices per tortilla)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Optional: garlic salt, to taste
- Extra pizza sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for about 10 to 15 seconds per side, just until soft and pliable. Do not brown them.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce down the center of each tortilla.
- Place 3 to 4 slices of pepperoni over the sauce.
- Lay one string cheese stick on top of the pepperoni.
- Fold the tortilla over the string cheese, tucking the edge slightly underneath the cheese, then roll tightly. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Melt the butter and season it with a little garlic salt if desired.
- Generously brush each roll-up with the melted butter.
- Sprinkle the tops with dried basil.
- Bake for about 6 minutes, or until the seam has sealed and the bottoms begin to turn golden.
- Carefully turn each roll-up over.
- Brush the tops with some of the melted butter from the pan and sprinkle with a little more basil.
- Bake for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy all over.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping if desired.
