Ingredients

Main Ingredients

6 pieces high-protein tortillas or wraps
1 cup lean ground turkey or chicken (cooked and seasoned)
½ cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
¼ cup turkey pepperoni slices
⅓ cup marinara sauce (no sugar added)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
to taste Olive oil spray or egg wash (for crisping)

Optional Ingredients

to taste Chili flakes For an extra kick.

Method

Cooking the Protein

In a skillet, brown the ground turkey or chicken with garlic powder and oregano. Drain excess fat and let it cool slightly.

Mixing the Filling

In a bowl, mix the cooked meat, mozzarella, pepperoni, and marinara sauce.

Rolling the Tortillas

Lay out your tortillas, spoon the filling into the center of each, fold sides in, and roll tightly like burritos.

Crisping the Rolls

Brush your rolls with olive oil or egg wash to give them that golden crunch.
For Air Fryer: Preheat to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
For Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.

Serving

Let them cool for just a minute before indulging. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or some fresh herbs.

Notes

For leftovers, store the pizza rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the air fryer or oven until warm and crispy again. Experiment with different proteins and cheeses for variation.
