Step‑by‑Step Instructions for High Protein Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
  1. In a small bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the lean ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper, cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess moisture.
  3. Stir in coarsely chopped pepperoni and the prepared spice mix into the cooked beef. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add crushed tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  5. Lay out each tortilla wrap. Place a portion of the beef mixture in the center, followed by a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Roll tightly, sealing properly.
  6. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange pizza rolls seam-side down on a greased baking tray. Brush tops with olive oil. Bake for 8-10 minutes until crisp and golden brown.
