Flour Tortillas
- 6 large flour tortillas
Pizza Sauce
- 1 cup pizza sauce
Shredded Cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend
Cooked Meat
- 1 cup cooked chicken, beef, or sausage
Vegetables
- 1 cup diced bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine your cooked meat, pizza sauce, and any vegetables you want to include. Mix well to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Take a flour tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the filling onto the center. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top, and then roll the tortilla tightly, placing it seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Add the Sauce: Once all tortillas are in the baking dish, pour extra pizza sauce over the top. Be sure to cover them well, as this keeps the enchiladas moist and flavorful.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese over the sauce, ensuring a cheesy layer that will melt beautifully during baking.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the enchiladas for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Notes
- Don’t Overfill: Avoid overstuffing the tortillas to prevent them from tearing during assembly.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables will enhance the flavor and texture of your enchiladas.
- Cover While Baking: If the cheese is browning too quickly, cover the dish with foil to prevent burning.
- Let Them Rest: Allow the enchiladas to cool for a few minutes before serving; this helps them hold their shape.
- Experiment with Sauces: Try different sauces, like Alfredo or BBQ, for a new take on this classic dish.
