A cheesy, beefy fusion of pizza and enchiladas, with seasoned ground beef, pepperoni, ricotta, and mozzarella, all rolled up in flour tortillas and baked with pizza sauce and melted cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 3 oz pepperoni, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp chopped garlic
  • ⅓ cup pizza sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • Topping:
  • 2 cups pizza sauce
  • 2½ cups shredded mozzarella
  • 3 oz pepperoni slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  3. Add onions, bell pepper, and chopped pepperoni to the pan. Cook until the vegetables are soft.
  4. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
  5. Mix in the pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese until well combined.
  6. Place the filling down the center of each tortilla, roll them up, and lay them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  7. Pour pizza sauce over the top, then sprinkle with mozzarella and lay pepperoni slices evenly across the top.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a different filling, try adding mushrooms, olives, or cooked sausage instead of pepperoni.
  • For a vegetarian option, skip the meat and add sautéed veggies like zucchini, spinach, or mushrooms.
  • For extra spice, add crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeño slices to the filling.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • These enchiladas freeze well; wrap them individually and reheat from frozen or thaw overnight in the fridge.
