Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Gluten-free tortillas
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 10 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, spreading it evenly over the surface.
Place one gluten-free tortilla in the skillet and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the entire surface.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza sauce.
Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly on top of the cheese layer.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and garlic powder (if using) for extra flavor.
Add the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni layer.
Place the second gluten-free tortilla on top to create a quesadilla sandwich.
Press down gently with a spatula to help the layers stick together as the cheese melts.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla turns golden brown and slightly crispy.
Carefully flip the quesadilla using a large spatula and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes, or until it is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for 1–2 minutes before slicing it into wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Serve immediately with additional pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.
