8. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
9. Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.

Notes

• Don’t overfill the tortillas or they may split.
• Cook in batches if needed for even crisping.
• Secure with toothpicks if the tortillas unroll.
• Freshly shredded mozzarella melts best.
• Let the roll-ups cool slightly before serving to prevent the cheese from spilling out.

Variations

• Add cooked Italian sausage.
• Use turkey pepperoni for a lighter option.
• Make a veggie version with mushrooms, peppers, and olives.
• Add cooked bacon for extra flavor.
• Try cheddar or provolone cheese instead of mozzarella.
