Pizza Enchiladas

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage 
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion, diced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 1 package (5 ounces) pepperoni, divided 
  • 1 jar (14 ounces) pizza sauce, divided
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 3 cups Italian blend shredded cheese, divided 
  • 8 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375° and liberally grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, sauté the Italian sausage in oil over medium-high heat, crumbling it as it cooks.
  3. Once the meat is browned, add the diced onions and bell peppers, and continue cooking until the veggies have softened.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  5. Chop up half the pepperoni and stir it into the meat mixture, along with 1/2 cup pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, ricotta cheese and 1 cup shredded cheese. Stir until all of the ingredients are well combined.
  6. Lay out the flour tortillas and scoop some of the filling (about 3 heaping spoonfuls) down the center of each tortilla.
  7. Roll up the tortillas and place them in the prepared baking dish seam side down.
  8. Pour the remaining pizza sauce over the rolled up tortillas.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
  10. Spread the rest of the pepperoni over the cheese.
  11. Place the baking pan in the oven and bake the enchiladas until the cheese is fully melted and just starting to brown around the edges, about 20-25 minutes.
  12. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before enjoying.
