Ingredients (Makes about 6 wraps):

  • 6 flour tortillas (Mission is a great option)
  • 6 String cheese sticks (or use part-skim mozzarella for a healthier twist)
  • 6 slices of pepperoni (optional, use turkey pepperoni for a leaner protein)
  • ยฝ cup pizza sauce (or more if you like extra sauce)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
  • ยฝ tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil (optional for added freshness)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast (shredded for added protein)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (low-fat version for less fat)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Wraps:
    Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the center of each tortilla, leaving the edges free.
  3. Assemble the Wrap:
    • Place one string cheese in the center of each tortilla.
    • Add 1 slice of pepperoni or turkey pepperoni, then sprinkle with shredded chicken breast and a small handful of shredded mozzarella cheese.
    • For an extra boost of flavor, sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning and fresh basil if desired.
  4. Roll the Wraps:
    Gently fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, ensuring the filling stays inside.
  5. Bake:
    Place each rolled wrap seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil to ensure they get crispy while baking.
  6. Baking Time:
    Bake the wraps in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is melted. If you want a crispy top, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    Let the pizza wraps cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair with extra pizza sauce for dipping and enjoy your high-protein pizza wrap!
