Stromboli Bites

- 1 (about 8-inch-diameter) reduced-fat, whole-wheat flour tortilla
- 1 ¼ ounces (¼ cup plus 2 ½ tablespoons) finely shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese (no more than 2.5 g of fat per ounce; I used Lucerne, found at Safeway chains)
- 12 slices turkey pepperoni
- 2 tablespoons low-fat marinara sauce (lower-sodium if possible), reheated if necessary
Instructions:
This recipe is a much less fattening version of this Italian favorite.
- Preheat the oven to 400°.
- Place the tortilla on a cutting board or flat surface. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the tortilla. Place the pepperoni evenly over the cheese.
- Tuck in the opposite sides of the tortilla, as you would with a burrito, and then roll it as tightly as possible, creating a log. Wrap the log in foil. Place it directly on an oven rack and bake it until the cheese is completely melted, 12 to 15 minutes. Slice the stromboli into 6 slices, crosswise, and transfer the slices to a plate facing upward, so they look like pinwheels. Serve immediately, with marinara sauce for dipping.
