Ingredients

For the Pizza Tacos

1 lb ground beef

1/2 lb Italian sausage, crumbled

1/2 lb pepperoni slices

1/2 cup sliced black olives

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup pizza sauce

8 small flour tortillas

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Garnish

Fresh basil leaves, chopped

Grated Parmesan cheese

Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the Meat

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage, cooking until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess grease.

Stir in the oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another minute to blend the flavors.

2. Assemble the Pizza Tacos

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Arrange the flour tortillas on a large baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each tortilla.

Top evenly with the cooked meat mixture, followed by pepperoni slices and black olives.

Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese generously over the top of each tortilla.

3. Bake

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden around the edges. The tortillas should become crisp and slightly toasted.

4. Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and allow the pizza tacos to cool for a few minutes.

Finish with fresh basil, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.

Slice each pizza taco into wedges and serve warm.

Tips for Success

Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions for extra pizza flavor.

Use turkey sausage or lean ground beef for a lighter version.

For extra crispiness, bake the tortillas for 2–3 minutes before adding the toppings.

Serve with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
