Course: hand held food, Lunch
Cuisine: American, Italian, Mexican
Servings: 6 tacos
- 6 small Flour Tortillas (mine were approx 5.5"/14cm)
- 6 tbsp Pizza Sauce
- 150g / 1 1/2 cups shredded Mozzarella (see notes)
- 24 slices of Pepperoni
- 1 large head of Romaine Lettuce, chopped
- 80ml / 1/3 cup Caesar Dressing, or more to preference (plus more to drizzle at the end)
- 30g / 1oz shaved Parmesan
- 150-200g / 5-7oz Frozen French Fries, cooked to preference (I use the air fryer)
- Flaky Sea Salt, to finish (optional)
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
Space the tortillas out on 1-2 large baking trays. Spread with pizza sauce, then top with mozzarella and 4 slices of pepperoni each. Bake in the oven until the cheese melts (5 or so mins, just be vigilant).
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, toss the chopped lettuce with parmesan and your desired amount of dressing.
When the tortillas are done, add the lettuce, then top with fries, a drizzle of dressing and a pinch of salt. Fold like a taco, then tuck in and enjoy!
a) Mozzarella - I recommend using low-moisture mozzarella so the tacos don't end up too soggy. If you only have fresh mozzarella stored in brine, just thoroughly pat it dry to remove moisture before adding to the tortillas.
b) Dressing - I use store-bought dressing, but you can make your own if you fancy! I have a great Caesar Dressing recipe for my pasta salad.
