Ingredients
- Large flour tortillas
- Lean ground beef
- Beef pepperoni slices
- Mozzarella cheese
- Pizza sauce
- Sautéed bell peppers
- Sautéed onions
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown 1 pound of lean ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste.
- Stir in 1 cup of beef pepperoni slices and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a clean skillet, warm one large flour tortilla over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, just until pliable.
- On one half of the tortilla, spread about ¼ cup of pizza sauce, then layer with a generous handful of the beef and pepperoni mixture, followed by a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape. Cook in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute before slicing into wedges. Serve with additional pizza sauce for dipping.
