  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 37 minute

Ingredients

– 4 large flour tortillas
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup pepperoni slices (or any topping of your choice)
– 1 bell pepper, diced
– ½ cup sliced black olives
– ½ cup pizza sauce (for dipping)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
– Optional: crushed red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, or fresh herbs


Instructions

Creating these delightful Pizza Quesadillas is quite simple. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Heat the Pan: Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil or spray with cooking spray to coat the pan lightly.

2. Prepare the Tortilla: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. On one half of the tortilla, sprinkle ¼ cup of mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup of cheddar cheese evenly.

3. Add Toppings: Layer your desired toppings over the cheese, such as pepperoni, diced bell pepper, and olives. You can also sprinkle some crushed red pepper or Italian seasoning for added flavor.

4. Fold It: Fold the tortilla in half, covering the toppings with the other side.

5. Cook the Quesadilla: Carefully place the quesadilla in the heated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crisp.

6. Flip and Cook Again: Flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.

7. Remove and Slice: Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it sit for a minute. Then, use a sharp knife to slice it into wedges.

8. Repeat: Continue this process with the remaining tortillas, adding more oil or cooking spray as needed.

9. Prepare for Serving: Arrange the slices on a platter and serve warm.
