→ Base Ingredients

01 - Low-carb tortillas
02 - Part-skim mozzarella cheese
03 - Sugar-free pizza sauce

→ Flavor Boosters

04 - Dried oregano
05 - Garlic powder

06 - Extra pizza sauce (for dipping)

# Instructions:

01 - Okay, first things first, get your oven preheating to 400°F (200°C). Then, grab a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. This step is a lifesaver, trust me. I once skipped it, thinking "eh, it'll be fine," and spent way too long scraping melted cheese off the pan. Don't be like me. You want a smooth, easy cleanup, so parchment is your friend for these Low-Calorie Pizza Rolls.
02 - Lay out your low-carb tortillas on a clean surface. Now, here's the fun part: spread a thin layer of sugar-free pizza sauce over each tortilla, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges. Don't go too heavy, or they'll get soggy. Then, sprinkle a generous amount of part-skim mozzarella cheese over the sauce. I usually go for about a quarter cup per tortilla, but honestly, listen to your heart (and your cheese cravings!).
03 - This is where the magic happens! Lightly sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder over the cheese on each tortilla. I love the smell of the oregano hitting the sauce; it just screams "pizza night!" You can adjust these to your liking. Sometimes I add a tiny pinch of red pepper flakes if I'm feeling a little spicy, but that's totally optional for your pizza rolls. Experiment, why not?
04 - Now for the rolling! Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a log. You want them snug, but not so tight they burst. I remember my first few attempts, they were more like lopsided burritos than rolls, but practice makes... well, not perfect, but definitely better! Make sure the seam is facing down when you place them on the prepared baking sheet. This helps them stay together.
05 - With a sharp knife, carefully slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick "rolls." You should get about 6-8 rolls per tortilla, depending on its size. Arrange these little beauties seam-side down on your parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they're not touching too much. Pop them into the preheated oven. It’s a bit like assembling tiny works of art, honestly.
06 - Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the tortillas are slightly crispy around the edges. Keep an eye on them, because ovens can be tricky! The aroma filling your kitchen will be amazing, a true testament to these simple pizza rolls. Let them cool for just a minute or two before diving in; that cheese will be molten!

# Notes:

01 - Don't overfill the tortillas, or the cheese will escape everywhere, making a sad, sticky mess and empty rolls.
02 - These are best fresh, but leftovers keep 2-3 days in the fridge. Reheat in a toaster oven for crispiness, avoid the microwave!
03 - If you're out of pizza sauce, a well-seasoned tomato paste thinned with a little water can pinch-hit.
04 - A small bowl of warmed marinara for dipping is a must-have, it just completes the experience.
