Pizza Roll Ups

Game day food! These would be a fun snack to serve at your Super Bowl parties. Not only are they ridiculously simple to make, but they’re a little something different among the other snacks. A mixture of cream cheese, shredded cheeses, pepperoni and green onions is spread out on flour tortillas, and browned in a hot pan. Serve with your favorite marinara for dipping!

You could also change these up, making a Tex-mex type roll up, a spinach and feta roll up (Oooh, add some fresh dill to that one and I’m there!)--use your imagination!

Cream Cheesy Pizza Roll Ups

Makes 4 (8") tortillas, cut into 3 pieces each, so 12 pieces total.
Adapted from Cuisine at Home

8 oz softened cream cheese 

Scant 1/3 cup finely diced pepperoni 

1 cup shredded cheese (I picked up a pizza blend.) 

1/3 cup green onions, thinly sliced (just the green parts) 

1 tsp pizza seasoning

1 tsp fresh basil, minced

4 (8") flour tortillas 

a bit of oil for cooking 

Marinara or pizza sauce for dipping

In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, pepperoni, shredded cheese, green onions, pizza seasoning and basil. Mix well.

Spread each tortilla with some of the cheese mixture, and get it all the way to edges to help the rolls seal. Roll each one up tightly. Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Not too much, you're not deep frying, just browning the tortilla rolls. Depending on the size of your pan, place one or two rolls in the oil and brown on all sides. This should only take a few minutes for each one. Use tongs and turn the rolls so you brown them all over. Set aside, and finish browning the rolls.

Let them cool slightly before slicing. Slice each roll into 3 pieces and serve with your favorite marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.

I am pretty sure I've asked this before, but can I come live at your house? I do dishes and windows (not at the same time, though) and tell the occasional funny joke. These look oh so darn good.

This is a great idea. I prepare quesadillas in a frying pan without oil, but this kicks it up a notch and adds an Italian flavor, which I love. Making these today! Thank you! Lyn
