Pizza-Style Pepperoni Burrito

Ingredients

• 4 Flour tortillas (Large, suitable for burritos)
• 500 g Ground meat (Preferably beef)
• 200 g Pepperoni (Sliced or cut into pieces)
• 1 Onion (Chopped)
• 200 g Provolone cheese (Sliced or grated)
• 20 g Butter (For cooking the meat and onion)
• 100 g Mozzarella cheese (Grated)
• 100 g Fried tomato sauce (Prepared tomato sauce)
• 50 g Cream cheese (Softened for spreading)
• Black pepper (To taste)
• Paprika (To taste)
• Onion powder (To taste)
• Garlic powder (To taste)
• Dried oregano (To taste)
• Salt (To taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Finely chop the onion and prepare the ground meat, pepperoni, cheeses, and sauces separately to make assembly easier.

2. 2

   Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt without letting it burn.

3. 3

   Add the chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until softened and lightly browned.

4. 4

   Add the ground meat to the skillet. Cook for 7-10 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until completely cooked and no longer pink.

5. 5

   Season the meat with black pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Mix well and cook for 1 minute more, until the spices are fragrant.

6. 6

   Stir in the pepperoni and cook for 2-3 minutes, until it begins to brown and releases some of its fat. Remove the skillet from the heat.

7. 7

   Warm the tortillas slightly so they become flexible. Place two overlapping tortillas together to form each burrito and spread cream cheese in the center.

8. 8

   Spread the tomato sauce, meat and pepperoni mixture, provolone, and mozzarella over each tortilla. Do not fill the edges too much so the burrito can be closed.

9. 9

   Fold the sides of each tortilla toward the center, then roll from the bottom, gently pressing to form two tightly closed burritos.

10. 10

    Brown the burritos in a dry or lightly greased skillet over medium heat, starting seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning them until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese has melted inside.

11. 11

    Serve the burritos hot, cut in half if desired. The filling should be very hot and the cheeses completely melted.
