Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Flour tortillas
- 0.75 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 3 tablespoons Pizza sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil or cooking spray.
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread 1.5 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the surface.
Sprinkle 0.75 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce, distributing it evenly.
Arrange 8 pepperoni slices on top of the cheese. Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoons of dried Italian seasoning for added flavor.
Place the second tortilla on top and gently press down to seal.
Transfer the quesadilla to the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden and crispy. Carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Once the quesadilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove it from the skillet and let it cool slightly.
Slice into wedges and serve warm, or let it cool completely before packing into a lunchbox.
