(none in this recipe)
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F, preparing your cooking surface carefully.
- Sprinkle ½ cup mozzarella cheese directly in the skillet’s center, allowing it to melt without disturbing its natural spread.
- Watch the cheese bubble and transform, creating a golden melted base that will become your crispy foundation.
- Gently place a low-carb tortilla atop the melted cheese, pressing softly to ensure complete attachment.
- Allow the cheese to turn golden brown and crisp, which takes approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Cautiously flip the tortilla, ensuring the cheese remains connected to its surface.
- Spread 1 tablespoon pizza sauce directly down the tortilla’s center with smooth, even movements.
- Arrange 6 pepperoni slices precisely over the sauce, creating a uniform layer.
- Roll the tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, tucking ingredients inside as you progress.
- Compress the roll gently to seal its edges and maintain structural integrity.
- Repeat the entire process with remaining tortillas, cheese, sauce, and pepperoni until all ingredients are utilized.
Notes
- Cheese choice matters, so select a high-quality mozzarella that melts smoothly and creates a crispy exterior when cooked.
- Work quickly when flipping the tortilla to ensure the cheese adheres perfectly without burning.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular tortillas with cauliflower or almond flour tortillas to maintain the same delicious flavor profile.
- Control your heat carefully to prevent burning and achieve that perfect golden-brown cheese crust on the outside of your roll-ups.
