🕒 Prep Time: 15 minutes
🕒 Cook Time: 20 minutes
🕒 Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 package of high protein tortilla wraps (or low-carb, high-protein flatbreads)
- 1 cup pizza sauce (sugar-free for fewer carbs, if preferred)
- 1 ½ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup part-skim ricotta or cottage cheese (for extra protein)
- 20 slices turkey pepperoni (or lean pepperoni)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil spray
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven
Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with olive oil to prevent sticking. - Prepare the tortillas
Lay out your high-protein wraps on a flat surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly across each wrap, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges. - Add cheese & protein boost
Sprinkle each wrap with mozzarella cheese, then add small dollops of ricotta or cottage cheese. This not only makes the rolls creamier but adds an extra protein punch. - Top with pepperoni
Arrange 4–5 slices of turkey pepperoni on each wrap. If you want more flavor, sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the top. - Roll it up
Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the edges as you go to avoid cheese spilling out. Slice each roll into 4–5 even pieces and place them seam-side down on the baking sheet. - Bake to golden perfection
Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over them. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted. - Serve & enjoy
Remove from the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes, and serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Pro Tips for Success
- Protein Swap: Try ground chicken, turkey, or lean beef instead of pepperoni for variety.
- Meal Prep Friendly: These rolls keep well in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a crispy finish.
- Extra Flavor: Add sautéed veggies like mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers to sneak in nutrients without sacrificing taste.
