So have you every had those frozen pizza rolls? I've bought them. We eat them occasionally. They are extremely greasy, fatty and like a million calories for 4 of them. Not filling at all either.
These remind me of those but are like 10,000 times better! I love how they get crispy in the oven, with out all the fat. They are also super easy to handle without all the mess.
These were also very filling! I was completely satisfied with 1 of these bad boys and a side of watermelon.
I thought about making these more like enchiladas and pour a bit of pizza sauce over and a bit of cheese but decided these were much neater. It certainly would have made a pretty presentation that way though!

Pizza Roll Up Burritos
Adapted from Penny-Pinching Provisions
2 lbs. ground turkey, 93%
1/2 large onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
2 oz. pepperoni (about 50 slices), cut in half
1 (15 oz) can pizza sauce
1 tsp. dried oregano
10 slices mozzerella string cheese
10 - 100 calorie whole wheat tortillas
Cook turkey in pan until it's almost done. Toss in onion and pepper and cook for about 5 minutes or until ground turkey is no longer pink. Add pepperoni slices, oregano and pizza sauce and simmer for a couple of minutes to warm. Add about 1/2 cup pizza mix on tortilla. Place 1 piece of string cheese along the middle on top and roll. Place seam side down in 9 x 13 pan. I was able to put 9 in the pan, we just stuck the 10th one on a tortilla the next day for lunch. Bake in oven at 350 for about 15 - 20 minutes until cheese is melted.
Total calories = 3743 calories
10 servings = 374 calories per burrito
1 Pizza Roll Up Burrito + 2 cups watermelon = 474 calorie dinner

ReplyDeleteThese look great! Love the idea of using a string cheese stick in the middle. Going to try this tonight and add all the misc veggies I've got sitting in the refrigerator.
ReplyDeleteI can't even do those frozen ones because of the calories, fat grams and sodium. These look really yummy. I'd rather save my fat for a delish dessert.

ReplyDeleteohh yum! these look delicious :)

ReplyDeleteDebbi, those turned out really good! I kinda like how naked and clean they look without the sauce too :D

ReplyDeletemmmmm, those look yummy! Perfect for a Friday night
ReplyDeleteDebbi, anything pizza works in my house!
ReplyDeleteWould love it if you would consider sharing this blog or another post at Monday Mania. Hope to see you there!
Debbi-wanted to let you know that I am trying these pizza burritos tonight!!! wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteJennifer
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is a dumb question...but if I doubled the recipe, I would bake them all and THEN freeze the extras, correct??
ReplyDeleteThey look so yummy!
I like the idea of using flour tortillas and making burritos for at home lunches. I make pizza rolls for the kids for school lunches. I use egg roll wrappers, a few more veggies and less cheese. I wrap, bake and freeze several dozen at a time. To keep them warm for school lunch, I warm them, wrap them in foil and put them in their thermos. No complaints on them being cold. Keep on keepin' on~~
ReplyDeleteHey Debbie - I know these are from a few weeks ago but we made them for The Kids Cook Monday this week. They were great! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog. I started WW last week and made my first weekly menu plan this week. We made these Monday and I love them! Thanks for all the great recipes!
