Family-Style Pizza Enchiladas (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

→ Filling ingredients

01 - 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
02 - 1 pound ground beef, lean
03 - ⅓ cup pizza sauce
04 - 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
05 - 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
06 - 8 large flour tortillas
07 - 3 oz pepperoni, diced
08 - ⅓ cup crispy bacon bits
09 - 1 cup ricotta cheese
10 - 1 tablespoon Italian herbs
11 - 1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped

→ Topping ingredients

12 - 2½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
13 - 2 cups pizza sauce
14 - ¼ cup bacon bits, crumbled
15 - 3 oz sliced pepperoni

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Turn your oven to 375°F to preheat. Heat up a skillet on medium-high heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook until no pink remains.
02 - Mix in the onions, green peppers, and diced pepperoni with the beef. Stir occasionally while cooking for 5-7 minutes until the veggies soften.
03 - Toss the minced garlic into the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until the aroma really comes through. Then take the skillet off the heat.
04 - Combine the pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, ricotta, mozzarella, and bacon bits with the cooked beef mixture. Stir until everything is evenly mixed and gooey.
05 - Spread your tortillas out, placing a scoop of the beef and cheese mix down the middle of each. Roll them up snugly and position them seam-side down on an oiled baking sheet.
06 - Evenly pour the pizza sauce over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese, followed by the pepperoni slices and bacon.
07 - Pop everything into the oven for 20-25 minutes, baking until the cheese bubbles and begins to brown at the edges. Let them sit for about 5 minutes before serving them up.

# Additional Notes:

01 - This mash-up dish brings pizza and Mexican flavors together into one fun, easy dinner.
02 - Rolling the tortillas tightly and putting them seam-side down helps keep them from opening while baking.
03 - Customize with different toppings like sliced mushrooms, black olives, or ground Italian sausage.
04 - You can make these ahead of time, store them in the fridge, and then bake them later when you're ready.
