  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Filling:

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 shredded mozzarella cheese

8 large flour tortillas

Topping:

2 cups pizza sauce

2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

3 oz pepperoni slices

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat.

  2. Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced onion, green bell pepper, and chopped garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and the onions are translucent.

  3. Add Pepperoni and Seasonings: Stir in the chopped pepperoni, pizza sauce, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

  4. Mix in the Cheese: Once the beef mixture has cooled, stir in the ricotta cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese to create a cheesy, flavorful filling.

  5. Assemble the Enchiladas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay out the flour tortillas and evenly divide the beef mixture between each one. Roll up the tortillas tightly and secure the filling inside.

  6. Prepare the Baking Dish: Spread 1 cup of pizza sauce over the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the dish.

  7. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining pizza sauce over the enchiladas and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Arrange pepperoni slices on top.

  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortillas are golden brown.

  9. Serve: Allow the enchiladas to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

Notes

Add More Toppings: Feel free to add mushrooms, olives, or cooked sausage to the filling for extra flavor.

Spicy Option: Add diced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Vegetarian Option: Swap the ground beef for sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or a plant-based meat substitute.

Cheese Variety: Experiment with different cheeses like provolone or Parmesan for added flavor.
