Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Filling:
- 2 low-carb tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 15–20 pepperoni slices
- 2 tbsp tomato sauce
Seasoning:
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
Optional Garnish:
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped basil
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine dried oregano, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
- Lay out the low-carb tortillas on a clean surface and spread an even layer of tomato sauce across each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the tomato sauce, ensuring a consistent flavor profile throughout the roll-ups.
- Distribute shredded mozzarella cheese across the tortillas, covering the seasoned sauce in a uniform layer.
- Arrange pepperoni slices strategically over the cheese, creating a delicious and visually appealing topping.
- Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, tucking in the sides to prevent filling from escaping during baking.
- Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the cheese becomes melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the filling to set and prevent burning.
- Garnish with freshly chopped basil and grated parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
- Slice the roll-ups diagonally and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Adjust tortilla thickness carefully, as thinner ones might tear more easily during rolling, potentially causing filling leakage.
- Experiment with alternative protein options like turkey pepperoni or plant-based pepperoni for health-conscious or vegetarian variations.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup, ensuring perfect golden-brown edges without mess.
- Control cheese melting by slightly freezing mozzarella beforehand, which helps maintain structure and prevents excessive spreading during baking.
