Tips for Success
Warm tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking. Don’t overfill each tortilla or they may burst open while baking. Use a thick marinara or pizza sauce to keep the enchiladas from getting soggy. Add toppings like olives or peppers inside or on top for extra flavor.
Ingredients
8 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 ½ cups marinara or pizza sauce
1 cup cooked ground sausage or sliced pepperoni
1 small bell pepper, diced
¼ cup sliced black olives
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish. In a bowl, mix the sausage or pepperoni, diced bell pepper, olives, and 1 cup of mozzarella. Spoon a portion of the filling onto each tortilla, then roll up and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Pour marinara sauce over the top, spreading evenly. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Additional Tips or Variations
Swap sausage for cooked chicken or make it vegetarian with mushrooms and spinach. Use low-carb tortillas or gluten-free wraps to suit dietary needs. Try different cheeses like provolone or cheddar for new flavor combinations. Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
