Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Large flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Pizza sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Brush one side of each tortilla lightly with olive oil. Place one tortilla, oiled side down, onto the skillet.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla in the skillet, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edge.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring even coverage.
Layer pepperoni slices on top of the cheese. Add more if desired.
Sprinkle dried Italian seasoning over the pepperoni for added flavor.
Place the second tortilla on top of the layered ingredients with the oiled side facing up.
Cook the quesadilla for 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and slightly crispy. Use a spatula to press down gently to help the cheese melt and stick the layers together.
Carefully flip the quesadilla using the spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing.
Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately. Optionally, serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
