Tips & Variations

  • Try different toppings such as cooked chicken, olives, or mushrooms for variety.
  • Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the rolls for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking, watching closely.
  • Prepare rolls in advance and refrigerate before baking to save time.
  • Make them vegetarian by skipping the meat and adding extra veggies like spinach or zucchini.

Storage

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes or until warmed through. They can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

FAQs

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?

Flour tortillas work best because they are more pliable and less likely to crack when rolling. Corn tortillas may break and are less flexible, so they are not recommended for this recipe.

How do I make these rolls less greasy?

Use leaner meats such as diced cooked chicken or turkey instead of pepperoni or ham. Also, avoid brushing too much olive oil on top—just a light brush is sufficient.
