Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 0.33 cup pizza sauce
- 8 pieces pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 3 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place one flour tortilla on a clean surface and spread the pizza sauce evenly over it, leaving about 1/2 inch from the edges.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce as the first layer of cheese.
Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly on top of the cheese, ensuring each bite will include some pepperoni.
Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni, then lightly sprinkle the Italian seasoning and optional red chili flakes on top.
Place the second tortilla on top, creating a sandwich-like structure, and gently press down.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Carefully place the assembled Pizza Dilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a spatula, carefully flip the Pizza Dilla and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until equally golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
Remove the Pizza Dilla from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for 1-2 minutes to set.
Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Cut the Pizza Dilla into wedges like a pizza, and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
