Pizza-Style Beef Tortilla Bake with Ricotta and Pepperoni (Print-Friendly Version)
Cooked beef, peppers, ricotta and mozzarella fill rolled flour tortillas, which bake under pizza sauce and pepperoni. This is a pizza-style tortilla casserole rather than a claim to a traditional enchilada recipe. Separate the filling and topping measures before cooking so the sauce and cheese are not counted twice.
