 Step by Step Instructions

 STEP 1: 

I dropped some lean ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat.

I crumbled the ground beef well as it cooked.

 STEP 2: 

Once the ground beef was fully browned, I added some diced onion, diced green bell peppers and chopped pepperoni to the skillet.

I stirred well and continued cooking until the veggies were softened.

 STEP 3: 

I added some chopped garlic to the skillet, stirred well and continued cooking for about 2 minutes.

Then I removed the skillet from the heat.

 STEP 4: 

I added pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, ricotta, shredded mozzarella and crumbled bacon to the skillet.

I stirred all of the ingredients together until well combined.

 STEP 5: 

I laid 8 large flour tortillas out on the kitchen counter.

I spooned the ground beef mixture down the center of each tortilla.

 STEP 6: 

I rolled up the tortillas and placed them on a baking sheet.

 STEP 7: 

I poured pizza sauce over the rolled up tortillas.

I sprinkled shredded mozzarella on top.

 STEP 8: 

I sprinkled pepperoni slices over cheese, followed by some crumbled bacon.

 STEP 9: 

I placed the baking sheet in the oven and baked the enchiladas until the cheese was fully melted and just starting to brown around the edges.

Then the cheesy baked pizza enchiladas were ready to serve!

The pepperoni, melty mozzarella, and zesty pizza sauce come together like a dream.

Every bite is packed with classic pizza flavor wrapped in a soft tortilla and baked to perfection.

Make these once and they’ll be a regular in your dinner rotation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Should I use flour or corn tortillas?

• Flour tortillas work best for this recipe because they’re soft, easy to roll, and hold up well with the sauce.
• Corn tortillas may crack or fall apart, but you can use them if you prefer—just warm them up first to make them more pliable.

What kind of pizza sauce should I use?

• Any store-bought or homemade pizza sauce will do! Use your favorite brand, or even marinara in a pinch. If you like a little spice, go for a zesty or spicy pizza sauce.

Can I make this ahead of time?

• Yes! Assemble the enchiladas, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
• You may need to add a few extra minutes to the bake time if going straight from the fridge.

How do I store and reheat leftovers?

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
• These also freeze well—just wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.

What toppings can I add inside?

• The possibilities are endless! Try cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, onions, or even jalapeños. Just be sure to pre-cook any meats and sauté vegetables if they release a lot of moisture.
