Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 slices pepperoni
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce (plus more for dipping)
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over it, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spilling during cooking.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauced tortilla, then arrange the pepperoni slices evenly on top. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
- Assemble the pizzadilla: Place the second tortilla on top of the toppings to form a quesadilla sandwich.
- Cook the pizzadilla: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled pizzadilla into the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
- Rest and serve: Remove the pizzadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute to allow the cheese to set slightly. Slice into wedges and serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a crispier pizzadilla, press it gently with a spatula while cooking to ensure even contact with the skillet.
- To add variety, include chopped vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms inside the pizzadilla before cooking.
