Preparation:

Step 1:
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and ground chicken to the skillet, breaking the meat apart as it cooks. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir frequently, making sure the meat is evenly cooked and browned. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet and set the meat mixture aside.

Step 2:
While the meat is cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this by placing them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 20-30 seconds.

Step 3:
Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce over each tortilla, covering it evenly. The pizza sauce adds that signature pizza flavor while serving as a base for the taco fillings.

Step 4:
Divide the cooked ground meat mixture among the tortillas, spooning it evenly over the pizza sauce. Add halved pepperoni slices on top of the meat mixture for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 5:
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over each taco. Place the assembled tacos on a baking sheet and set your oven to broil. Broil the tacos for about 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on them to prevent the tortillas from burning.

Step 6:
Once the cheese has melted to perfection, remove the tacos from the oven and garnish them with fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and added flavor.
