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)

Directions

Step 1

Place one flour tortilla on a clean surface and spread the pizza sauce evenly over it, leaving about 1/2 inch from the edges.

Step 2

Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce as the first layer of cheese.

Step 3

Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly on top of the cheese, ensuring each bite will include some pepperoni.

Step 4

Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni, then lightly sprinkle the Italian seasoning and optional red chili flakes on top.

Step 5

Place the second tortilla on top, creating a sandwich-like structure, and gently press down.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the Pizza Dilla from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for 1-2 minutes to set.

Step 10

Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

Step 11

Cut the Pizza Dilla into wedges like a pizza, and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
