Meat Mixture
- 1 lb Ground Italian Sausage mild or spicy
- 1/2 cup Pepperoni Slices mini pepperoni recommended
- 1 cup Marinara Sauce
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano

Instructions
Prepare the Meat Mixture
- In a large skillet, brown the ground Italian sausage over medium-high heat, then drain any excess grease.
- Stir in garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes; cook for one minute until fragrant. Add marinara sauce and half the pepperoni slices, then simmer gently.
Assemble the Tacos
- Brush both sides of each flour tortilla with olive oil.
- Place a small amount of the meat mixture in the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and top with remaining pepperoni slices.
- Fold the tortilla over the filling to create a flat taco shape.
Cook the Tacos
- To bake, place assembled tacos on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and tortillas are golden.
- To air fry, place 2-3 tacos in the basket and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5-8 minutes until crispy and cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat and let cool for a minute before serving.
Notes
For an extra kick, add a pinch more red pepper flakes to the meat mixture. These tacos are best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer for best results.
