Ah, Pizza Enchiladas 🍕🌯—basically a mashup of pizza and enchiladas: cheesy, saucy, and utterly indulgent. They’re fun to make and perfect for a family dinner or game day. Here’s a full recipe:
🍕 Pizza Enchiladas
Serves 4–6
Ingredients
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked chicken, beef, or sausage (optional)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup sliced pepperoni or other toppings (optional)
- ½ cup diced bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms (optional)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly.
- Prepare filling
- In a bowl, mix cooked meat (if using), 1 cup mozzarella, vegetables, and Italian seasoning.
- Assemble enchiladas
- Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the filling onto each tortilla.
- Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Top with sauce & cheese
- Pour pizza sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
- Sprinkle remaining 1 cup mozzarella over the top.
- Add pepperoni or other toppings if desired.
- Bake
- Bake 20–25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve
- Let cool 5 minutes. Serve with optional fresh basil, parsley, or a side salad.
🔥 Tips for Success
- Don’t overfill tortillas: Makes rolling easier and prevents leaks.
- Extra cheesy: Mix a little cream cheese or ricotta into the filling.
- Crispy edges: Brush edges lightly with olive oil or butter before baking.
- Make ahead: Assemble the night before and bake fresh for dinner.
Variations
- Vegetarian: Load with mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, and spinach.
- Buffalo style: Use cooked chicken tossed in buffalo sauce instead of pizza sauce.
- Supreme: Add olives, sausage, onions, and green peppers for a full “pizza” flavor.
