Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 3 oz pepperoni, chopped (plus extra slices for topping)
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/3 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for filling)
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups pizza sauce (for topping)
  • 2.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown ground beef over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease if needed.
  3. Add diced onion, bell pepper, and chopped pepperoni. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until vegetables are softened.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1/3 cup pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, ricotta, and 1 cup mozzarella until well combined.
  6. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the filling into each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  7. Pour remaining 2 cups of pizza sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  8. Top with 2.5 cups shredded mozzarella and arrange pepperoni slices over the top.
  9. Bake for 20–25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Assemble ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Warming tortillas slightly helps prevent cracking when rolling.
  • Let enchiladas rest after baking for cleaner slices and better texture.
  • Customize with your favorite pizza toppings or extra veggies.
