Ingredients

• 4 Large flour tortillas
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 20 Pepperoni slices
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Optional toppings (e.g., sliced black olives, diced bell peppers, mushrooms)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 2

Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over one side of each tortilla.

Step 3

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce on two of the tortillas.

Step 4

Layer pepperoni slices evenly on top of the cheese, and add any optional toppings you’re using (e.g., olives, bell peppers, mushrooms).

Step 5

Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning over the toppings, then add a small sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Step 6

Cover each topped tortilla with another tortilla, sauce side down, to create a quesadilla.

Step 7

Brush the tops of the quesadillas lightly with olive oil.

Step 8

Place one quesadilla in the preheated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted. Flip carefully using a large spatula.

Step 9

Repeat with the second quesadilla.

Step 10

Let the quesadillas cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice each into wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.

Step 11

Serve warm with additional pizza sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
