Print Recipe

These High-Protein Pizza Rolls offer handheld pizza flavor with a muscle-building twist, perfect for busy nights or game-day snacks.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 lb ground beef, lean
  • 5 1/4 oz pepperoni
  • 1/2 oz flat-leaf parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 14 oz canned diced or crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup pizza or marinara sauce (optional)
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Spray oil (for the baking dish and tops)
  • 7 1/8 oz low-fat mozzarella, shredded
  • 6 wraps (whole-wheat, spinach, or high-protein)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven following the wrap package instructions.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up, and drain excess fat.
  3. Add pepperoni, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, tomatoes, tomato paste, and smoked paprika to the skillet and stir to combine.
  4. Simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
  5. Season with salt and pepper. If too loose, simmer longer.
  6. Lay wraps flat and spoon the meat mixture down the center of each, leaving space at the edges.
  7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the filling.
  8. Roll each wrap tightly, fold in the ends, and place seam-side down in a lightly oiled baking dish.
  9. Lightly spray the tops with oil.
  10. Bake according to wrap instructions until golden and crispy, about 12–20 minutes.
  11. Remove from oven, garnish with parsley, slice if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Can use fresh tomatoes instead of canned. Higher protein options include high-protein wraps or adding low-fat cottage cheese to filling.
