  • Total Time: 35–40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.2 lb lean ground beef (95% lean)
  • 5.2 oz pepperoni, coarsely chopped
  • 14 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 0.5 oz flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • Spray oil
  • 6 large wraps (about 10-inch diameter)
  • 7.05 oz shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
  • Sauce of your choice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and dried oregano in a small bowl.
  2. In a large pan over medium-high heat, spray oil and brown lean ground beef. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add chopped pepperoni and spice mixture. Cook 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and parsley. Simmer 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
  5. Lay wraps flat. Divide beef mixture among wraps, sprinkle cheese, and drizzle sauce if desired. Roll tightly.
  6. Place rolls seam-side down on a baking tray. Spray lightly with oil and sprinkle parsley if desired.
  7. Toast in preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes, or air fry at 350°F (180°C) for 8–10 minutes until crispy and cheese melts. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze tightly wrapped for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in oven 10–25 minutes depending on refrigerated or frozen.
  • Seal edges well and let filling cool slightly before rolling to prevent soggy wraps.
