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.

Serving Suggestions

Tips

  • Spray lightly with cooking oil for extra crispiness.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
