Ingredients (Serves 4)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Assemble the Roll-Ups
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce down the center of the tortilla, being careful not to use too much sauce, as excess moisture can prevent crisping.
Place 4 slices of pepperoni evenly over the sauce. Then add 1 mozzarella cheese stick directly on top of the pepperoni. Starting from one side, roll the tortilla tightly around the fillings, tucking in the sides slightly as you roll to help keep everything inside.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
2. Prepare for Air Frying
Lightly spray or brush each roll-up with olive oil or melted butter. This step is important because it helps the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy in the air fryer.
If your air fryer basket tends to stick, you can also lightly spray the basket or line it with perforated parchment paper.
3. Air Fry
Place the roll-ups seam side down in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each one so air can circulate properly.
Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, turning halfway through, until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown and the cheese inside is melted. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model, so keep an eye on them during the last minute.
4. Serve
Remove the roll-ups from the air fryer and let them cool for 1–2 minutes. The filling will be very hot. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
