Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 3 oz pepperoni, chopped
- 1 tbsp chopped garlic
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup crumbled bacon
- 8 large flour tortillas
- Topping:
- 2 cups pizza sauce
- 2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 oz pepperoni slices
- 1/4 cup crumbled bacon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, cook ground beef, onion, and bell pepper over medium heat until beef is browned and vegetables are softened. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in chopped pepperoni, garlic, 1/3 cup pizza sauce, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
- Remove from heat and stir in ricotta, mozzarella, and bacon until combined.
- Divide the filling evenly among the flour tortillas. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour 2 cups of pizza sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
- Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese, then top with pepperoni slices and crumbled bacon.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
- Serve warm with extra pizza sauce on the side if desired.
Notes
- Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter version.
- Make ahead: assemble enchiladas, cover, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
- Add veggies like mushrooms or olives for more of a supreme pizza twist.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or jalapeños to the filling.
