Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef

- ½ cup pizza sauce
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6–8 taco-sized flour tortillas (soft shell)
Optional Add-Ons
- Sliced olives
- Sautéed onions or bell peppers
- Red pepper flakes
- A drizzle of ranch or garlic sauce

Instructions
1. Cook the Ground Beef
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
2. Mix in the Meat & Sauce
- Stir in pepperoni, sausage, and bacon.
- Add pizza sauce and mix to coat evenly.
- Cook 2–3 more minutes until everything is heated through.
3. Assemble the Tacos
- Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave for pliability.
- Spoon the meat mixture into each taco shell.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese on top.
4. Melt the Cheese
- Option 1: Broil tacos open-faced on a baking sheet for 2–3 minutes.
- Option 2: Fold and pan-grill the tacos on both sides for a crispy, cheesy finish.
5. Serve Hot
- Garnish with optional toppings or fresh herbs.
- Serve with dipping sauces like marinara, ranch, or Beer Cheese Dip.
Tips for Success
- Use low-moisture mozzarella to avoid soggy tacos.
- Pan-sear the tortillas after filling for extra crisp and structure.
- Drain your beef and sausage well so the tacos hold their shape.
- Prep the filling ahead and assemble tacos fresh for parties.
Serving Suggestions & Pairings
These meat-packed pizza tacos are a meal on their own but pair perfectly with:
