Start by adding the pasta sauce to a small pot and warm over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Next add the onion and pepper to large bowl and toss in olive oil and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
In a large skillet or large griddle, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the onions and peppers.
Cook the vegetables until they are soft and caramelized, stirring occasionally—about 8-10 minutes.
Once done, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
While the peppers and onions cook, prepare the beef by mixing together ground beef and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt and pepper in large bowl (can use same as peppers onions) then divide into 6 equal balls
Using the same skillet or griddle, increase the heat to medium-high. As the beef cooks, add tortilla on top and use a spatula to press it down into the skillet, smashing it into smaller, flattened pieces.
Cook the beef for about 3-4 minutes, then flip.
Next, place desired amount of peppers and onions, pepperoni and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the smashed beef, and close the grill or cover the skillet, letting the cheese melt over the meat.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes then remove from heat.
Add desired amount of warmed sauce to taco then sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
Once assembled, serve your Pizza Smash Burger Tacos immediately. They’re best enjoyed hot, with the cheese still melted and the tortillas slightly crisp from the smashed beef.
