Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 slices flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 8 oz pizza sauce, divided
- 1 tsp garlic salt (optional)
Filling Options
- Pizza toppings of your choice (such as sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, etc.)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and to ensure easy clean-up. Pour half the pizza sauce onto the bottom of the dish and spread it evenly. If using, sprinkle garlic salt over the sauce for a boost of flavor.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Lay one tortilla flat, sprinkle the center with a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese, and add a small amount of your chosen pizza toppings. Carefully roll the tortilla up, keeping the fillings in the center, and place it seam-side down into the prepared baking dish.
- Repeat: Continue this process with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and pizza fillings. Be sure to reserve about 1/2 cup of mozzarella for topping later.
- Add Sauce & Cheese: Once all tortillas are filled, rolled, and arranged in the baking dish, pour over the remaining pizza sauce. Sprinkle the reserved mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and lightly browned, and the sauce is bubbling at the edges.
- Serve: Let the pizza enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Customize the fillings with your favorite pizza toppings—add olives, onions, bell peppers, or cooked bacon for variety.
- For a more robust flavor, use a spicy pizza sauce or add red pepper flakes to the filling.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free tortillas.
