Rock & Roll Pizza Roll

You really can’t beat this ridiculously easy and much healthier version of the pizza rolls you might find in your grocer’s freezer. It’s just as gooey, and it’s guilt-free for you . . . and the kids. In fact, it can even be made with all-natural ingredients.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 1 serving

Ingredients

1 (about 8-inch-diameter) reduced-fat, whole-wheat flour tortilla (do not use a reduced-carb one)
2 tablespoons low-fat marinara or pizza sauce (lower-sodium, if possible)
1 (21 g) light string cheese (I used Sargento)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a small baking sheet or dish with parchment.

    Step 2

    Place the tortilla on a cutting board or flat work surface. Spread the marinara sauce to the edges of the tortilla.

    Step 3

    Place the string cheese across one edge of the tortilla. Tuck in the sides of the tortilla over the cheese, and then roll it tightly, creating a log. Place the log on the prepared baking sheet and bake it until the cheese is completely melted, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
