Instructions
Creating the 5-Minute Pepperoni Pizza Quesadilla is straightforward. Follow these simple steps for a delicious meal:
1. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or oil.
2. Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the tortilla.
3. Add Pepperoni: Distribute the sliced pepperoni over the cheese. If desired, sprinkle Italian seasoning on top.
4. Top with Cheese: Add the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni.
5. Cover with Tortilla: Place the second tortilla on top, pressing down gently to secure the filling.
6. Cook the Quesadilla: Carefully transfer the assembled quesadilla to the heated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
7. Flip It Over: Using a spatula, flip the quesadilla to cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until it’s crispy and the cheese has fully melted.
8. Slice and Serve: Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice it into wedges and serve with pizza sauce for dipping.
