Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 3 oz mini pepperoni
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- 8–10 corn or flour tortillas
- Mozzarella cheese, for topping
- Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks until fully browned.
- Add the mini pepperoni to the skillet and cook for a few more minutes until the pepperoni starts to crisp and cup.
- Stir in the pizza sauce and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for a few minutes until heated through.
- Warm the tortillas, optionally charring them slightly in a dry skillet or over a gas flame for extra flavor.
- Assemble the tacos by spooning the meat mixture onto each tortilla, then top with mozzarella cheese and fresh basil.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Char the tortillas slightly before assembling for added texture and flavor. The filling is bold and savory; to mellow it, mix in some ground beef. Add vegetables like peppers, onions, or mushrooms for a supreme pizza taco variation. Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
