  4. Step 4: While that's cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until they’re nice and pliable.
  5. Step 5: To assemble, spread a spoonful of pizza sauce on each tortilla.
  6. Step 6: Add a generous portion of the beef and pepperoni mixture on top.

  9. Step 9: Fold the tortillas in half to form tacos and serve immediately.

Notes

If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare!), you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat them in the microwave or a skillet before serving. You can also freeze the beef mixture separately for up to a month, making it super easy to whip up a quick meal!
