Pizza Roll Ups

Lunchtime for my kids usually consists of Peanut Butter and Jelly. This week as I was making my meal plan I was looking for kid friendly meals and I came across this recipe on thegraciouspantry.com (love this site for clean eating recipes!)  I modified the recipe a bit as I was also looking for something 
quick and easy.  


Ingredients...
4 whole wheat tortilla
1 jar clean marinara or pizza sauce
2 cups shredded or finely chopped veggies of choice ( zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms,etc.)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions...
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare a parchment lined cookie sheet.
2. Lay each tortilla out flat and cut into triangles with a pizza cutter
3. Spread a thin layer of sauce over each triangle and sprinkle on some veggies and cheese.
4. Roll up the triangles and place on cookie sheet
Note: If the roll ups are not staying rolled because you fill them too much place a toothpick in them to hold together
5. Bake for 20 minutes (this can vary depending on how thick and how full the rolls are, so keep an eye on them).

Optional: In place of the whole wheat tortillas, ou can make your own batch of whole wheat pizza dough. If so you wold cook your dough accordingly and then roll it out into a rectangular shape. Then proceed cutting dough into triangles. 

Not only did my kids enjoy these Pizza Roll ups, I did too. They were my lunch today and I paired it with a spinach salad with vinaigrette dressing. 



If you try this recipe I would love to know your thoughts. Also if you have any kid friendly recipes to share please do so. I am always looking for my kiddos!!
