Ingredients

  • 8 soft taco size flour tortillas
  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • 6 ounces package of full-size sliced pepperoni (you will need 10 slices per pizza roll)
  • 8 string cheese room temperature
  • 2-3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce at the bottom of the flour tortilla. (leave ¼ inch at the edge of the tortilla)
  • Lay 10 slices of pepperoni on top of the pizza sauce.
  • Lay 1 whole string cheese on top of the pepperoni.
  • Carefully and tightly, roll the tortilla up. Lay the pizza roll seam side down. Repeat the process for the remaining pizza rolls.
  • Remove the basket from the air fryer and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Leave the basket out and preheat the air fryer to 375°F. (This should only take 3-4 minutes)
  • Use a pastry brush to brush the olive oil over the tops of the pizza rolls.
  • Lay 3-4 pizza rolls, depending on the size of your air fryer basket, into the basket. Leave a little space between the pizza rolls. Cook for 9-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve while warm.

Notes

Storage:
  • To Store: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • To Freeze: You can freeze the uncooked pizza rolls for up to 1 month. Allow the pizza rolls to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
Tips:
  • If the tortillas are either cold or a little on the stiff side, you can heat the tortillas in the microwave for 20-25 seconds to make them a bit more pliable.
  • You can use the string cheese straight out of the refrigerator, but allowing the cheese to come to room temperature will give a meltier pizza roll.
  • You can substitute vegetable oil for olive oil. I do not recommend brushing the pizza rolls with butter, as that may cause the tortilla to burn.
