# How to Prepare:
01 -
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add lean ground turkey or chicken, sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano, and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and allow the meat to cool slightly.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat, reduced-fat mozzarella, turkey pepperoni slices, and marinara sauce. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
03 -
Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the filling along the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a compact roll, sealing the seam underneath.
04 -
Lightly brush the surface of each roll with olive oil spray or an egg wash for enhanced crispness.
05 -
Preheat air fryer to 190°C. Arrange rolls in a single layer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning halfway until golden and crispy.
06 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Place rolls on a lined baking tray and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the exterior turns golden brown.
07 -
Allow rolls to cool for several minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or serve alongside a dipping sauce if desired.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For a vegetarian alternative, substitute plant-based pepperoni and include sautéed vegetables such as mushrooms and spinach.
02 -
Boost protein content by incorporating cottage cheese into the filling or selecting wraps with at least 10g protein per serving.
03 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months; reheat in the air fryer or oven for a crispy texture.
04 -
Experiment with flavor variations such as buffalo chicken, Mediterranean fillings, or Hawaiian-inspired toppings.
