Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup pepperoni slices (or turkey pepperoni)
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Why These Ingredients Work
Soft tortillas roll easily without cracking, mozzarella melts smoothly, and pepperoni adds that classic pizza flavor. The air fryer crisps everything beautifully with minimal oil.
Ingredient Notes
- Tortillas: Flour tortillas work best, but low-carb wraps can be used.
- Cheese: Mozzarella gives the best stretch; add cheddar for bold flavor.
- Sauce: Use thick pizza sauce to avoid soggy roll-ups.
- Pepperoni: Mini pepperoni distributes evenly in every bite.
- Seasoning: Italian seasoning boosts the pizza aroma instantly.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Tortillas
Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 2: Add Fillings
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by pepperoni slices. Finish with garlic powder and Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
Step 3: Roll Them Up
Roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other, keeping the filling snug inside. Slice each roll into halves for perfect portion sizes.
Step 4: Brush and Season
Lightly brush the outside with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if using — this helps create a golden, crispy crust.
Step 5: Air Fry to Perfection
Place roll-ups seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Step 6: Rest and Serve
Let cool for 1–2 minutes before serving. The cheese inside will be hot, melty, and irresistible 😍
Pro Tips & Variations
