These easy-to-make Pepperoni Pizza Quesadillas combine classic pizza flavors with the convenience of a quesadilla. Crispy, cheesy, and perfect for a quick meal, they will surely satisfy your pizza cravings!
Equipment
- medium skillet
- cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 8 pieces flour tortillas homemade or store-bought
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 pound pepperoni
- 1 16 ounce jar pizza sauce
- 1 6-ounce can sliced black olives optional, or 1 cup of sliced cremini mushrooms
Instructions
- Begin by heating a medium skillet over medium heat. Fry the pepperoni until it becomes crispy, then transfer it to a paper towel to drain excess grease.
- Brush a thin layer of pizza sauce on one side of each tortilla, ensuring it's a light coat to avoid dripping when flipped.
- On one sauced tortilla, add a generous amount of shredded cheese. Layer on the crispy pepperoni and any additional toppings like olives or mushrooms, followed by another layer of cheese.
- Cover it with another tortilla, placing the sauced side down, effectively creating a quesadilla sandwich.
- Preheat your cast-iron skillet over medium heat, then place the quesadilla in the pan. Cook each side for about 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortillas are crispy.
- Slice the quesadilla into quarters and serve with a small bowl of pizza sauce for dipping.
