Description
These high protein pizza rolls are compact, cheesy, and perfect for busy weeknights, offering all the classic pizza flavors without the heavy carbs.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 lb Ground beef, lean
- 5 1/4 oz Pepperoni
- 1/2 oz Flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tsp Onion powder
- 2 tsp Oregano, dried
- 14 oz Tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 Sauce (your preferred pizza or marinara sauce)
- 2 tsp Paprika, smoked
- 1 Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 Spray oil
- 7 1/8 oz Mozzarella cheese, low-fat
- 6 Wraps, any type
Instructions
- Preheat the oven following the temperature on the wrap package so the rolls crisp properly.
- Heat a large skillet over medium and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the pepperoni, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, tomatoes, tomato paste, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Let the mixture simmer for 10–15 minutes so it thickens and flavors concentrate. Stir occasionally.
- Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Lay the wraps flat on a clean surface. Spoon an even portion of the meat-tomato mixture down the center of each wrap.
- Sprinkle each roll with shredded low-fat mozzarella.
- Roll the wraps tightly, tucking the ends as you go, and place them seam-side down in a lightly oiled baking dish.
- Lightly spray the tops with oil to encourage browning. Bake according to the wrap instructions until the outside is golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped flat-leaf parsley, slice if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
If you prefer, swap lean ground beef for ground turkey or extra-lean beef to reduce fat further. Gluten-free or whole-grain wraps work fine. The ‘1 Sauce’ refers to your preferred pizza or marinara sauce; use a tomato-based sauce that’s not too watery.
