Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 soft taco-size flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 6 oz package of full-size pepperoni (about 10 slices per roll)
  • 8 sticks string cheese (room temperature)
  • 23 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Optional: Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, or garlic butter for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tortilla: Lay out a flour tortilla flat on your workspace. Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly across the center, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges to prevent leakage.
  2. Add toppings: Place 10 slices of pepperoni on top of the sauce in a single layer. Then add one stick of string cheese on top of the pepperoni.
  3. Roll the tortilla: Carefully roll the tortilla tightly around the fillings, ensuring the seam side is underneath to keep it sealed. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
  4. Preheat the air fryer: Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–4 minutes to ensure an even cook.
  5. Brush with olive oil: Lightly brush the tops of each pizza roll with extra virgin olive oil to promote browning and crispiness.
  6. Air fry the rolls: Place 3–4 pizza rolls in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space between them for air circulation. Air fry at 375°F for 9–10 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy. Rotate the basket halfway through cooking if your air fryer requires it to ensure even crisping.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the pizza rolls and let them cool for 1–2 minutes. Serve warm with your choice of dips such as ranch, marinara sauce, or garlic butter for dipping.

Notes

  • Use room temperature string cheese for better melting and a gooey texture.
  • Avoid overfilling with sauce to prevent the rolls from leaking during cooking.
  • Mini pepperoni slices or chopped toppings can be used as a substitute for full-size pepperoni.
  • Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top before air frying for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Leftover pizza rolls can be reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 minutes for best results.
