Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 8-10 count Flour Tortillas 6-8 inch
  • 1/2 cup Pizza Sauce your favorite store-bought or homemade Marinara
  • 1.5 cups Mozzarella Cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Pepperoni sliced (mini pepperoni works great)
  • 1/2 cup Cooked Italian Sausage crumbled
  • 1/4 cup Cooked Ham diced
  • Olive Oil or Cooking Spray for the pan

Optional Toppings

  • Parmesan Cheese for serving
  • Red Pepper Flakes for serving
  • Dried Oregano for serving

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • If using uncooked Italian sausage, brown it in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up and draining excess grease; dice the ham if not already diced.

Assembly

  • Lay out tortillas and spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on one half of each.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, Italian sausage, and ham evenly over the sauced half.
  • Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the toppings to create a half-moon shape.

Cooking Methods

  • For pan-frying, heat a skillet with olive oil or cooking spray and cook tacos 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted.
  • For baking, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C), place tacos on a baking sheet, and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and cheese is bubbling.

Serving

  • Transfer cooked pizza tacos to a plate and optionally top with Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes before serving immediately.

Notes

You can customize the meat fillings with your favorite pizza toppings. A tortilla press can be helpful if you want to make your own fresh tortillas. These pizza tacos are great for meal prep; assemble ahead of time and cook when ready to eat. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add vegetables like sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers for added flavor and nutrition.
