Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped pepperoni
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1/2 cup sliced sausage
Vegetables and Toppings
- 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
Seasonings and Sauces
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Dough
- 8 small tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat to keep the mixture from becoming greasy.
- Add Meats and Vegetables: Stir in chopped pepperoni, crumbled bacon, sliced sausage, diced green bell pepper, and diced red onion to the cooked ground beef. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and all flavors meld together.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for warming the tortillas.
- Warm the Tortillas: Arrange the tortillas on a baking sheet and warm them in the preheated oven for 2-3 minutes just until they become soft and pliable, making them easier to fold into tacos.
- Assemble the Tacos: Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce on each tortilla, top with the hearty meat mixture, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly, and add sliced black olives for an extra burst of flavor.
- Final Bake (Optional): For a melted cheese finish, return the assembled tacos to the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve hot. Enjoy your Meat Lovers Pizza Tacos with your favorite dipping sauces or a side salad.
