→ Wraps
11 -
4 medium-sized tortilla wraps (gluten-free if needed)

Cooking spray or oil for greasing
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Combine onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and dried oregano in a bowl to create a flavorful spice mix.
02 -
Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil. Add lean ground beef seasoned with salt and pepper, cooking until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
03 -
Stir the chopped pepperoni and spice blend into the beef. Add crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, then simmer for 5 minutes until mixture thickens slightly.
04 -
Lay out tortillas and evenly distribute the meat mixture down the center of each. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the filling, then roll tightly to enclose all contents securely.
05 -
Arrange rolls seam-side down on a baking tray and lightly spray with oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 8-10 minutes or air fry at 175°C for a similar duration until golden and cheese is melted.
06 -
Allow rolls to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set. Optionally, serve with marinara or ranch dressing for dipping.
# Handy Cooking Tips:
01 -
Drain excess moisture from filling before assembling to maintain crispiness of rolls.
02 -
Limit filling to 3-4 tablespoons per wrap to prevent bursting during cooking.
03 -
Let filling cool slightly prior to rolling to preserve the cheese's gooey texture.
