Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the enchiladas.
Prepare Baking Dish: Spread about 1/2 cup of pizza sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and add extra sauce flavor.
Assemble Tortillas: On each tortilla, spread a thin layer of pizza sauce, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, black olives, and chopped green bell pepper as desired.
Roll Tortillas: Roll up each tortilla tightly to keep the fillings inside and place each roll seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Add Remaining Sauce: Pour the remaining pizza sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas to keep them moist and flavorful during baking.
Top with Cheese and Spices: Sprinkle the top with the remaining mozzarella cheese, dried oregano, and garlic powder for added flavor and a nice golden finish.
Bake the Enchiladas: Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired before serving warm.

Notes

You can customize the fillings by adding other favorite pizza toppings like mushrooms, onions, or cooked sausage.
For a spicier twist, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
To make this dish vegetarian, simply omit the pepperoni or substitute it with plant-based alternatives.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
