Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat a baking dish or sheet pan with nonstick spray.
Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned.
Add Vegetables and Pepperoni
Stir in the diced onion, green bell pepper, and chopped pepperoni.
Continue cooking for 4–5 minutes, until the veggies soften slightly.
Add Garlic and Seasoning
Add the chopped garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant.
Create the Filling
Remove the skillet from the heat.
Stir in the pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and crumbled bacon.
Mix until everything is well combined.
Assemble the Enchiladas
Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface.
Spoon a generous amount of the filling down the center of each tortilla, then roll them up tightly.
Prepare for Baking
Arrange the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Top with Sauce and Cheese
Pour the remaining pizza sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella, top with pepperoni slices, and finish with crumbled bacon.
Bake
Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling with golden edges.
Serve
Let cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy warm with your favorite side salad or dipping sauce, if desired!
