Servings: 6 Wraps

Ingredients

  • Spray Oil
  • 1 kg Beef Mince 5% Fat
  • 150 g Pepperoni Chopped
  • 8 g Onion Powder
  • 8 g Garlic Powder
  • 8 g Smoked Paprika
  • 4 g Dried Oregano
  • 400 g Crushed Tomatoes
  • 30 g Concentrated Tomato Paste
  • 15 g Flat Leaf Parsley Chopped
  • Salt & Pepper

Wraps & Fillings

  • 6 Wraps of Choice
  • 250 g Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese Grated
  • Sauce of Choice

Method

  • Slice the pepperoni in half, into quarters, or leave it whole. Roughly chop the flat-leaf parsley.
  • In a bowl, add the dried herbs and spices and mix to combine.
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat and spray with oil. Add the beef mince and sear for 5 minutes or until no longer pink — season with salt and pepper.
  • Add in the pepperoni, herbs, and spices and cook for 2 minutes or until the pepperoni is slightly golden.
  • Add the tomato paste, crushed or diced tomatoes, and flat leaf parsley. Mix to combine, bring to a simmer, and cook for 2–3 minutes or until thick and reduced. Remove from the heat.
  • Evenly distribute the beef and pepperoni mix across six wraps. Top with mozzarella cheese, and if you prefer, add a sauce of choice. Wrap tightly.
  • Place on a baking tray or into an air fryer. Spray with oil and sprinkle with flat-leaf parsley (optional). If using the oven, set it to 200°C–400°F and toast for 8–10 minutes. If using an air fryer, set it to 180°C–350°F and toast for 8–10 minutes. Let cool and store in foil, food-safe paper, or airtight containers. Dig in.
Chef's Tips
Let the beef fully brown before adding the pepperoni, as written — starting with pepperoni too early crowds the pan with raw meat moisture and stops it from crisping and rendering properly.
Simmer the tomato sauce until it's properly thick and reduced, not just warmed through — a wet filling is what makes the wraps soggy and hard to seal tightly before toasting.
Roll the wraps tightly and make sure the seam is secure before they go in the oven or air fryer — a loose wrap risks the filling spilling out or the roll unravelling as it toasts.
Storage & Reheating
Refrigerate for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months, wrapped in foil, food-safe paper, or an airtight container.
To reheat, remove any foil first, then warm in the oven or air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 5–7 minutes to re-crisp — the microwave will leave the wrap soft. Thaw frozen portions in the fridge overnight before reheating.

    Made these for Meal prep last week, and I really enjoyed them. Good flavor, and very filling. I froze them and reheated in tinfoil in the air fryer, and they reheat very well. Would highly recommend these.
