Ingredients
Scale
Enchiladas
- 6 slices flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 8 oz pizza sauce, divided
- 1 tsp garlic salt (optional)
- Pizza fillings of your choice (such as sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking of the enchiladas.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and help with easy cleanup.
- Layer Sauce: Pour half of the pizza sauce evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Add Garlic Salt: Sprinkle garlic salt over the pizza sauce if desired, to add extra flavor.
- Fill Tortillas: Take one flour tortilla and place a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center, then add your favorite pizza toppings on top of the cheese.
- Roll Tortillas: Roll the tortilla tightly with the fillings inside and place it seam-side down into the baking dish to keep it closed during baking.
- Repeat Process: Repeat the filling and rolling process for all remaining tortillas, cheese, and toppings.
- Add Remaining Sauce: Pour the remaining pizza sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas, covering them evenly.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the sauced tortillas.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and has golden brown spots.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas rest for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and to prevent burns.
Notes
- You can customize your pizza fillings based on preference or what you have on hand, including vegetables or different meats.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add some red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños with your toppings.
- For a crispier texture, broil the enchiladas for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Use homemade or store-bought pizza sauce depending on your time and taste preference.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
