# Ingredients:
For the filling
01 -
1 lb (450 g) ground beef, 80/20 lean
02 -
3 oz (85 g) pepperoni, chopped small
03 -
1/2 medium green bell pepper, diced
04 -
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
05 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
06 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
07 -
1/2 cup (120 g) pizza sauce
For assembly
08 -
8 large flour tortillas
09 -
2 cups (225 g) low-moisture mozzarella, shredded
10 -
1 1/2 cups (360 g) pizza sauce
# Instructions:
01 -
Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned and no pink remains. Add the diced onion and green pepper and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Drain excess grease.
02 -
Stir in the chopped pepperoni, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in 1/2 cup of pizza sauce and stir to moisten the mixture. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 -
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave wrapped in a damp towel for 20 seconds. Place about 1/3 cup of filling down the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with a little mozzarella, and roll tightly. Arrange seam-side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
04 -
Pour the remaining pizza sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, making sure the edges are covered. Scatter the rest of the mozzarella over the top.
05 -
Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 5-10 minutes more until the cheese is spotty and golden. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
# Good to know:
01 -
Let stand 5 minutes before serving so the cheese sets.
02 -
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the filling.
