Melt the Cheese
This had me hesitant at first, as all I could think of was a disaster of cheese burnt in my pan! But, trust me... this works wonderfully!
Heat a large (10 to 12" diameter) skillet to a medium high heat. Add ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese into the hot skillet. Let it start to melt without disturbing it.

Add the Tortilla
Place the flour tortilla on top of the melted cheese. Press down gently so that the flour tortilla is smashed into the cheese. Keep heat on medium.

Flip the tortilla
When the cheese begins to brown (1 to 2 minutes), carefully flip the tortilla by lifting the skillet up, and flipping the tortilla onto a plate, cheese side up.
Slide the flour tortilla back into the skillet so the uncooked side of the tortilla is on the bottom.

Substitutions
We used thin sliced pepperoni in this recipe. You can use any Italian sliced meats, crisp cooked bacon, or cooked and crumbled sausage.
Mozzarella was our cheese of choice, as it has a great stretch, or 'cheese pull'. You can also find 'Italian' blend shredded cheese mixture, it has a great flavor profile and still stretches great!
It's up to you, make your own creations with different meats and cheeses.
Variations
- Try different pizza combinations, like cooked sausage, ham, and bacon! Wrap these pizza roll ups individually and freeze. Your teens can then microwave them, and you'll know they got a healthy morning start.

Equipment
- Non Stick Skillet (10 to 12" diameter)

Top Tips

- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 48 slices pepperoni 6 per pizza roll up, or more to taste
- 4 cups mozzarella cheese shredded, divided into ½ cup portions
Instructions
For Each Pizza Roll up:

- Add ½ cup of mozzarella cheese directly to the hot skillet and allow to melt without stirring or disturbing.4 cups mozzarella cheese
- Lay a flour tortilla directly on top of the melting cheese, pressing the tortilla gently down into the cheese so the cheese sticks to the flour tortilla.8 flour tortillas
- When the cheese is starting to brown, carefully flip the tortilla out of the pan onto a plate, cheese side up. The cheese will be attached to the flour tortilla, which is now underneath the cheese.
- Spread about 1 to 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce down the middle of the cheese covered flour tortilla.½ cup pizza sauce
- Next, top with 6 slice of pepperoni on top of the pizza sauce. You can add more if you prefer.48 slices pepperoni
- Using the spatula, carefully roll up the flour tortilla from one side of the pan to the other. Repeat the process for each remaining flour tortilla and serve immediately.
Notes
- Wrap these pizza rolls in wax paper instead of plastic wrap, and store in a zip lock bag. This will keep them fresh, and easy to unroll after microwaving. Plastic wrap sticks together so well that it is a wrestling match getting the heated roll up out after microwaving.
- Go easy on the pizza sauce, as it will make these pizza rolls soggy if you use too much. Just a teaspoon or so.
