Description

A fun and flavorful mash-up of pizza and enchiladas, filled with seasoned ground beef, pepperoni, marinara, and gooey cheese, all wrapped in tortillas and baked to saucy, cheesy perfection.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (plus extra for topping)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups marinara or pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 8 flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
  • Optional toppings: sliced black olives, diced green bell pepper, mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. Season beef with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stir in half the marinara sauce and chopped pepperoni. Simmer briefly.
  5. Warm tortillas to make pliable. Spoon meat mixture onto each, sprinkle with cheese, and roll up.
  6. Place tortillas seam-side down in the baking dish.
  7. Spread remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle with mozzarella, cheddar (if using), and extra pepperoni.
  8. Add optional toppings like olives or peppers.
  9. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Swap ground beef with Italian sausage or turkey for variation.
  • Use Alfredo sauce for a creamy twist.
  • Add red pepper flakes or jalapeños for heat.
  • Make it vegetarian with mushrooms and spinach.
  • Freeze before or after baking for easy meals.
