Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 20 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with olive oil or cooking spray.
Place one tortilla on the skillet and spread 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the surface, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange 5 pepperoni slices on top of the cheese. Optionally, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
Sprinkle a small amount of Parmesan cheese and a pinch of dried oregano over the toppings for added flavor.
Cover the toppings with another tortilla, pressing gently to help the tortillas stick together.
Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, ensuring the cheese is melted and the second tortilla is golden brown.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing into quarters with a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make 4 quesadillas in total.
Serve the pizza quesadillas warm, optionally with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
