This Pizza Enchiladas recipe creatively combines the flavors of classic pizza with the comforting style of enchiladas.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Protein

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 3 oz pepperoni, chopped
  • ⅓ cup crumbled bacon

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic

Cheeses and Sauces

  • ⅓ cup pizza sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese

Wraps

  • 8 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary. Add diced yellow onion, green bell pepper, and chopped garlic, cooking until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add pepperoni and seasonings: Stir in the chopped pepperoni, pizza sauce, and Italian seasoning. Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Remove from heat.
  3. Assemble the enchiladas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay out each flour tortilla and evenly distribute the beef mixture among them. Add a spoonful of ricotta cheese inside each tortilla with the filling, then roll the tortilla tightly and place seam side down in a greased baking dish.
  4. Top with cheeses and bacon: Sprinkle the rolled enchiladas with mozzarella cheese and crumbled bacon, covering them evenly to ensure a gooey and flavorful topping.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and beginning to brown. Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and grease in the dish.
  • For a spicier twist, add red pepper flakes or jalapeños to the filling.
  • Substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if desired.
  • Leftover enchiladas can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • To make the recipe vegetarian, omit the meat, pepperoni, and bacon, and add mushrooms or other vegetables as a substitute.
