Main Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 to 1½ cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cook the Beef and Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink. Add the finely chopped onion and green bell pepper, sautéing until softened and fragrant. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, stirring well to combine all flavors.
- Prepare the Filling: Drain any excess grease from the cooked beef and vegetables. Stir in the pizza sauce until everything is evenly coated and heated through, creating a savory pizza-flavored filling.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the beef and sauce mixture down the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle freshly shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the filling to ensure it melts nicely during baking.
- Bake Until Melted and Warm: Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and roll it up tightly to enclose the filling completely. Place each wrap seam-side down on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortilla turns golden brown and slightly crisp.
Notes
- Warm tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent cracking during rolling.
- Avoid overfilling the wraps to make rolling easier and less messy.
- Brush tortillas with garlic butter before baking for extra flavor and a crispy crust.
- Use freshly shredded mozzarella cheese for better melting and texture.
- Prepare the beef and vegetable filling ahead of time to speed up assembly on busy days.
