Equipment
- Large Nonstick Skillet
- Smash Burger Press
- Spatula
- Lid
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage
- 8 Low carb tortillas street taco size
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 24 slices pepperoni
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Divide the ground Italian sausage into 8 equal pieces, about 2 ounces each, and roll them gently into balls.
- Place one sausage ball on a piece of parchment paper. Carefully center a low-carb tortilla on top of the sausage ball.
- Using a smash burger press or a spatula, firmly press down on the tortilla until the sausage flattens out and covers the entire tortilla. Repeat this simple process for all remaining sausage balls and tortillas.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the sausage-covered tortillas into the hot skillet, sausage-side down. Cook in batches if necessary, allowing about 3 at a time.
- Cook until the sausage is beautifully browned and a bit crispy. Then, flip each taco base over and remove the skillet from the heat momentarily.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over the cooked sausage. Sprinkle with a good amount of mozzarella cheese and lay 3 pepperoni slices on top of each.
- Return the skillet to the heat and cover it with a lid. Continue cooking until the tortilla is golden and crispy, and the cheese has melted into a gooey, delicious layer.
- Finish with a tiny pinch of dried oregano. Serve immediately for a fun and flavorful meal!
