Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups Pizza sauce
- 8 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
Instructions
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, swirling to coat the surface.
Sprinkle a thin, even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1/4 cup) directly onto the skillet. Let it begin to melt and form a crispy cheese crust.
Carefully place one flour tortilla on top of the melting cheese, pressing gently to adhere. Allow it to cook for 1-2 minutes until the cheese begins to crisp against the tortilla.
Flip the tortilla over so the cheese side is now facing up. Reduce the heat to low.
Spread 1/4 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the uncheesed side of the tortilla.
Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the fresh basil leaves. Dust with garlic powder and oregano for extra flavor.
Place the second tortilla on top, then gently press down to adhere. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of mozzarella onto the skillet and carefully flip the entire quesadilla over so this side can develop a cheese crust as well.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the second cheese crust to crisp up.
Once both sides are golden and crispy and the middle is heated through, carefully remove the Pizza Dilla from the skillet.
Sprinkle lightly with grated Parmesan for a finishing touch and slice into quarters. Serve hot with extra pizza sauce for dipping if desired.
