What you will need

- 0.5 cup pizza sauce

Step by step instructions

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the tortillas are lightly golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly inside.
Step 4: Cool and Slice
Allow roll ups to cool for 5 minutes then slice each into 4 equal pieces before packing into lunchboxes with a small side of extra pizza sauce for dipping.
