Ingredients
- 12 lean sausages
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. oregano
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 4 plain tortilla wraps
- 40g butter (melted)
- Sesame seeds
- Sugar-Free Sauce (Tomato Ketchup)
Method
1) Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
2) First, in a large bowl, squeeze the all of the meat out of the sausage casings. Add the herbs and seasoning and mix together well with your hands or a spatula.
3) Next, lay out the tortilla wraps and divide the sausage meat equally between them, placing it in a log across the middle of each wrap.
4) Starting from the bottom of each wrap, use both hands to roll upwards until you have a tight sausage roll.
5) Cut the roll into four equal pieces — or if you want bite-sized sausage rolls you can always cut smaller — and place them onto a baking tray.
6) Brush each sausage roll with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Then bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until the tortillas have turned slightly golden around the edges.
7) Allow to cool for a little while, then enjoy them warm (or cold if you prefer) with a generous serving of Sugar-Free Sauce.
