Ingredients
  

1 lb Italian sausage (choose between mild or spicy based on your preference)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 medium onion, sliced thin

3 cloves garlic, minced finely

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought)

4 large flour tortillas or wraps

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Using a wooden spoon, break it apart while cooking. Continue to cook until the sausage is browned and fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Once done, transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, drizzle in the olive oil. Once the oil is heated, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and starting to caramelize. Then, add the minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the mixture is aromatic.

      Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet along with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in the marinara sauce and mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients. Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for about 5-10 minutes, giving the flavors time to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

        Prepare the Wraps: While the sausage and vegetable mixture is simmering, warm the flour tortillas. You can do this in a separate pan or microwave them for about 30 seconds until they are soft and pliable.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take a warmed tortilla and lay it flat on a plate. Spoon a generous amount of the sausage and pepper filling into the center, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to completely enclose the filling. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

            Toast the Wraps (Optional): For an extra crispy texture, place the assembled wraps seam-side down in a preheated skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Toast each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

              Serve: Carefully slice the wraps in half diagonally for a beautiful presentation. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an added touch of color and flavor. Serve immediately, with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping if desired.
