# Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 1 pound lean ground beef
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 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 bacon, crumbled

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart as it browns until no pink remains.
02 - Add diced onions, green bell pepper, and chopped pepperoni to the skillet. Stir well and cook until vegetables are softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
03 - Add chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes until aromatic. Remove skillet from heat.
04 - Stir in pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and crumbled bacon until everything is well mixed and cheeses are incorporated.
05 - Lay out the flour tortillas and evenly distribute the beef mixture along the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and arrange seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
06 - Evenly pour the pizza sauce over the stuffed tortillas. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, and crumbled bacon.
07 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown at the edges. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Letting the enchiladas rest before serving helps the filling set and enhances flavor.
