- 1 1/2 cups pizza sauce
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until browned, ensuring to drain excess fat afterward.

- Spoon a few tablespoons of the beef mixture into each tortilla, sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese, then roll up tightly.
- Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour remaining beef and sauce mixture over the top and finish with leftover cheese. Add black olives or peppers if using.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
