Scale 1x2x3x

Main Ingredients

• 20 small flour tortillas (5-inch)
• 14 oz pizza sauce
• 24 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
• 80 slices pepperoni
• 1 tbsp cooking oil

Garlic Herb Topping

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp garlic salt

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a large baking pan with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
2. Assemble Roll Ups: Lay out each tortilla on a clean surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top, then arrange 4-5 slices of pepperoni over the cheese.
3. Roll Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, ensuring the fillings are sealed inside. Place each rolled tortilla seam side down on the prepared baking pan.
4. Apply Cooking Oil: Using a brush or your fingers, lightly brush the tops of the roll-ups with the cooking oil. This helps them brown nicely in the oven.
5. Prepare Garlic Herb Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt until well combined. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of the roll-ups to add aromatic and savory flavors.
6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese inside has melted and the roll ups are warmed through and slightly golden on top.
7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let the roll ups cool for a few minutes before serving to enjoy a warm, melty pizza-flavored snack.

Notes

• You can freeze the prepared roll ups before baking for an easy make-ahead snack.
• Customize the fillings by adding vegetables like bell peppers or olives if desired.
• Use whole wheat or corn tortillas for a different flavor or to accommodate dietary preferences.
• If you prefer a crispier outside, brush with melted butter instead of cooking oil before baking.
• Make sure to keep the roll ups seam side down on the pan to help them hold their shape during baking.
