Flour tortillas filled with seasoned ground beef, pepperoni, and cheese, rolled up and baked with pizza sauce and toppings. Takes 45 minutes, serves 8.
These pizza enchiladas became my secret weapon when I couldn't decide between making pizza or enchiladas for dinner. Instead of choosing, I combined both into this genius mashup that gets everyone excited about dinner. You get all those classic pizza flavors - pepperoni, cheese, Italian seasoning - but wrapped up in tortillas and baked like enchiladas with pizza sauce on top. My kids think I'm some kind of dinner hero when I make these, and honestly, they're so easy that I feel a little guilty taking all the credit.
