Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 ounces) reduced fat cream cheese (can use regular if you prefer)
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup finely chopped sliced pepperoni
  • 4 taco size flour tortillas (about 6 to 8 inches)
  • pizza sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together cream cheese, basil, oregano, garlic, mozzarella and pepperoni.
    1 package (8 ounces) reduced fat cream cheese, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, ½ cup finely chopped sliced pepperoni
  • Spread about ½ cup of the cream cheese mixture onto each tortilla in an even layer, all the way to the edges.
    4 taco size flour tortillas (about 6 to 8 inches)
  • Tightly roll up tortilla with the filling on the inside. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Repeat until all the tortillas are filled and rolled. If you use tortillas that are on the larger side, you may only need 3 tortillas.
  • Place wrapped rolls in fridge and chill for at least 2 hours.
  • When you're ready to serve, use a very sharp knife to slice each rolled up tortilla into pinwheels, about a half inch thick. Serve with pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Variations: Try different types of tortillas, such as whole wheat, gluten-free, tomato, or spinach. You can substitute thinly sliced ham for the pepperoni, or skip the meat and make vegetarian roll-ups. Try adding finely chopped vegetables such as bell pepper or onion. 
  • Storage: Pizza pinwheels can be refrigerated for 2 to 3 days. They will become softer.
