Pro Chef Tips
For perfectly rolled pizza roll-ups, make sure each tortilla is adequately covered with sauce and cheese—this will help prevent spills when rolling. A light brush of oil on the top of each roll before baking not only adds flavor but also ensures a crispier texture. If you prefer a little more kick, don’t hesitate to add some red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture!
Flavor Variations
Feel free to get creative with your pizza roll-up ingredients! Swap out the pepperoni for veggies like zucchini or olives for a vegetarian option. Consider experimenting with different sauces like barbecue or pesto for a new flavor profile. You could try adding bacon bits, or even switching the type of cheese for cheddar or gouda to give it a different taste.
