Tortilla Sausage Rolls Recipe 

First, the tortilla. Use your favorite. Flour, corn, wholemeal, gluten free – all work well in this recipe. Again, you can opt for regular tortillas or large burrito style tortillas. 

Next, the meat filling. Go with your favorite meat, chicken or veggie filling. I’ve used my go-to filling recipe featuring a delicious combination of minced (ground) meat, onion, garlic, paprika, basil and a little cayenne pepper. Combine all the ingredients together to create the best filling. 

Finally, roll and bake. Don’t forget to brush with a little egg wash for that shiny golden touch. So good!
