With the crispy edges of a taco and all the rich, savory flavors of a classic pizza, this dish is a hit for everyone at the table. So, let’s dive into this delicious creation and see how we can bring these two worlds together!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Pizza Tacos:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb Italian sausage, crumbled
  • 1/2 lb pepperoni slices
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Garnish:

  • Fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the Meat:
    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage until fully browned. Drain any excess fat. Add the dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • Prepare the Tacos:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked meat mixture over the tortillas. Top with pepperoni slices, black olives, shredded mozzarella, and cheddar cheese.
  • Bake the Tacos:
    Place the prepared tortillas on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are crispy.
  • Garnish and Serve:
    Remove the tacos from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped basil, grated Parmesan, and red pepper flakes, if desired. Cut each pizza taco into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

  • When cooking the meat, make sure to brown it evenly and drain off any excess fat to avoid greasy tacos.
  • Use high-quality cheese for the best melting effect. A blend of mozzarella and cheddar gives the perfect balance of flavor and texture.
  • If you’re looking for a spicier kick, try adding some red pepper flakes to the pizza sauce or use spicy Italian sausage.
