Description

A fusion of two beloved classics, these Pizza Enchiladas are a delightful twist on traditional enchiladas, filled with all the savory flavors of a pizza.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Enchiladas:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 3 oz pepperoni, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1/3 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 tablespoon 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

  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Drop the lean ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground beef well as it cooks.
  2. Once the ground beef is fully browned, add the diced onions, bell peppers, and chopped pepperoni to the skillet. Stir well and continue cooking until the veggies have softened.
  3. Add the chopped garlic to the skillet. Stir well and continue cooking for 2 minutes.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and crumbled bacon to the skillet. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  5. Lay out the flour tortillas and scoop some of the ground beef mixture down the center of each tortilla.
  6. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Roll up the tortillas and place them on the baking sheet.
  7. Pour the pizza sauce over the rolled-up tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top, followed by the pepperoni slices and crumbled bacon.
  8. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the enchiladas until the cheese is fully melted and just starting to brown around the edges, for 20 – 25 minutes.
  9. Serve and enjoy!
