  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 large flour tortillas
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup sliced pepperoni

– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
– Cooking spray or a small amount of oil (for the pan)


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.

By following these steps, you’ll have a mouthwatering quesadilla ready to enjoy in just five minutes!
