11 8 large flour tortillas
→ For the topping
12 2 cups pizza sauce
13 2½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
14 3 oz pepperoni slices
15 ¼ cup bacon, crumbled
Instructions
Step 01
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, crumbling it well as it browns until fully cooked.
Step 02
Add diced onions, bell peppers, and chopped pepperoni to the skillet with the beef. Stir well and continue cooking until vegetables have softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 03
Add chopped garlic to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove skillet from heat.
Step 04
Add pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and crumbled bacon to the skillet. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and cheeses are incorporated.
Step 05
Lay out flour tortillas and scoop the ground beef mixture down the center of each one. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
Step 06
Pour the 2 cups of pizza sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese, then top with pepperoni slices and crumbled bacon.
Step 07
Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is fully melted and just starting to brown around the edges. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
This creative fusion dish combines the best of pizza and Mexican flavors for a fun family dinner.
Make sure to place the tortillas seam-side down to prevent them from unrolling during baking.
You can customize the filling with your favorite pizza toppings like mushrooms, olives, or Italian sausage.
These can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated, then baked when ready to serve.
