02 - 1 cup yellow onion, diced
03 - 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
04 - 3 ounces pepperoni, chopped
05 - 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
06 - 1/3 cup pizza sauce
07 - 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
08 - 1 cup ricotta cheese
09 - 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
10 - 1/3 cup beef bacon, crumbled
11 - 8 large flour tortillas

→ Topping

12 - 2 cups pizza sauce
13 - 2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
14 - 3 ounces pepperoni slices
15 - 1/4 cup beef bacon, crumbled

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
02 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef. Crumble with a spatula and cook until beef is fully browned.
03 - Add diced yellow onion, green bell pepper, and chopped pepperoni to the skillet. Stir and cook for 5–7 minutes until onions and peppers are softened.
04 - Stir in chopped garlic and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove skillet from heat.
05 - Stir in 1/3 cup pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, ricotta, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, and 1/3 cup crumbled beef bacon. Mix thoroughly until cheeses are melted and mixture is cohesive.
06 - Lay out flour tortillas and divide the beef mixture evenly down the center of each. Roll up tortillas firmly and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Pour 2 cups pizza sauce evenly over rolled tortillas. Sprinkle with 2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella, layer with pepperoni slices, and scatter 1/4 cup crumbled beef bacon on top.
08 - Bake for 20–25 minutes until cheese is fully melted and beginning to brown around the edges.
09 - Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

# Notes:

01 - Lay tortillas seam-side down to prevent unrolling during baking.
02 - Customize the filling by adding mushrooms, olives, or Italian sausage for variety.
03 - Assemble ahead and refrigerate; bake just before serving for easy planning.
04 - Fusion of pizza and enchilada flavors creates a unique family favorite main course.
