Ingredients

• 4 Large flour tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 16 slices Pepperoni slices
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0 Optional toppings (e.g., sliced olives, diced bell peppers, mushrooms)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

While the skillet is heating, lay out two tortillas on a clean surface.

Step 3

Spread 2-3 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving about half an inch around the edges to prevent spillage.

Step 4

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce on each tortilla.

Step 5

Add 8 slices of pepperoni to each tortilla, distributing them evenly across the surface.

Step 6

If desired, scatter optional toppings such as sliced olives, diced bell peppers, or mushrooms over the cheese and pepperoni.

Step 7

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning over each tortilla for extra flavor.

Step 8

Place the second tortilla on top of each prepared tortilla to create two quesadilla sandwiches.

Step 9

Brush the tops of each quesadilla with a light coating of olive oil.

Step 10

Carefully transfer one quesadilla to the heated skillet, olive oil side down. Brush the top side with olive oil while it cooks.

Step 11

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and crisp, then carefully flip using a large spatula.

Step 12

Cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy and all the cheese inside has melted.

Step 13

Repeat the cooking process with the second quesadilla.

Step 14

Transfer the cooked quesadillas to a cutting board, let them sit for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly, then cut each quesadilla into quarters.

Step 15

Serve hot with extra pizza sauce for dipping if desired.
