‍ Instructions

4. Roll each tortilla tightly like an enchilada or burrito.

Step 2: Assemble the Enchiladas

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Lightly grease a large baking dish.

3. Pour a thin layer of pizza sauce on the bottom.

4. Place rolled tortillas seam-side down in the dish.

5. Pour remaining pizza sauce evenly over the top.

Step 3: Add the Toppings

1. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the sauced tortillas.

2. Add parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

3. Finish with Italian seasoning for that authentic pizza aroma.

Step 4: Bake

1. Cover dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.

2. Remove foil and bake another 10–12 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly.

3. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Meat Lovers: Add cooked sausage, ground beef, or ham to the filling.

• Veggie Delight: Load with spinach, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and zucchini.

• Extra Cheesy: Mix mozzarella with provolone or cheddar.

• Spicy Twist: Add jalapeños or red chili flakes to the filling.

• Mini Version: Use small tortillas for kid-friendly, bite-sized rolls.

Serving Ideas

• Serve with a simple side salad (Caesar or Greek works well).

• Pair with garlic bread or breadsticks for a fuller meal.

• Great for potlucks – make a double batch and bake in advance.

Storage & Reheating

• Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days.

• Freezer: Wrap unbaked enchiladas in foil and freeze up to 2 months. Bake straight from frozen (add +10 minutes cooking time).

• Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or microwave individual portions.

✨ That’s it! A simple, cheesy, and absolutely irresistible dinner that combines the best of two worlds.
