You really can’t beat this ridiculously easy and much healthier version of the pizza rolls you might find in your grocer’s freezer. It’s just as gooey, and it’s guilt-free for you . . . and the kids. In fact, it can even be made with all-natural ingredients.

　　

Ingredients

makes 1 serving

　　1 (about 8-inch-diameter) reduced-fat, whole-wheat flour tortilla (do not use a reduced-carb one)

　　2 tablespoons low-fat marinara or pizza sauce (lower-sodium, if possible)

　　1 (21 g) light string cheese (I used Sargento)

　　

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a small baking sheet or dish with parchment.

　　

Step 2

Place the tortilla on a cutting board or flat work surface. Spread the marinara sauce to the edges of the tortilla.

　　

Step 3

Place the string cheese across one edge of the tortilla. Tuck in the sides of the tortilla over the cheese, and then roll it tightly, creating a log. Place the log on the prepared baking sheet and bake it until the cheese is completely melted, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
