# Everything You’ll Need:

01 - 1 lb lean ground beef

02 - 1 cup diced yellow onion

03 - 1 cup diced green bell pepper

04 - 1 cup chopped pepperoni

05 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

06 - 1 cup pizza sauce

07 - 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

08 - 3/4 cup ricotta cheese

09 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

10 - 1/2 cup cooked crumbled bacon

11 - 8 large flour tortillas

12 - 1 1/2 cups pizza sauce, for topping

13 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, for topping

14 - 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, for topping

15 - 1/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon, for topping

01 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned.

02 - Stir in diced onion, bell pepper, and chopped pepperoni. Cook until the vegetables are softened and the pepperoni releases its oils.

03 - Add minced garlic and sauté for 2 minutes to release aroma without burning.

04 - Remove skillet from heat. Stir in pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and crumbled bacon until fully combined.

05 - Place each tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon the beef mixture into the center of each, avoiding overfilling to ease rolling.

06 - Lightly grease a baking dish. Place filled tortillas seam-side down in the dish to prevent unrolling during baking.

07 - Spread pizza sauce over tortillas, edge to edge. Top with shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, and crumbled bacon.

08 - Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and edges are lightly browned.

09 - Allow enchiladas to cool slightly before slicing and serving to help the filling set.

01 - Rolling tortillas while warm helps prevent cracking.

02 - Using whole milk mozzarella yields a richer melt.

03 - Customize with mushrooms, olives, or jalapeños for added flair.
