Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 10-inch flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 30 pepperoni slices
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2.25 oz can sliced black olives, drained
  • 1 can mushrooms, drained
  • 1/2 batch Thick & Rich Pizza Sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prep the Vegetables and Toppings: Thinly slice the bell pepper and red onion. Drain the canned black olives and mushrooms completely to avoid sogginess.
  2. Assemble the Pizzadillas: For each tortilla, sprinkle about 1/3 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over half of the tortilla. Add pepperoni slices, bell pepper, red onion, olives, and mushrooms evenly on top of the cheese. Then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the toppings. Fold the empty side of the tortilla over the filled half to create a half-moon shape.
  3. Cook the Pizzadillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place one pizzadilla in the skillet and cook until the bottom side is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip it over and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted inside.
  4. Slice and Serve: Remove the pizzadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Using a pizza cutter, slice each pizzadilla into thirds. Serve hot, with the prepared Thick & Rich Pizza Sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • All the cheesy toppings of a pizza stuffed into a fast, easy, and crispy quesadilla.
  • Perfect for dipping in pizza sauce!
  • Ensure the vegetables and canned toppings are well drained to keep the pizzadillas from becoming soggy.
  • Use medium heat to make sure the cheese melts without burning the tortillas.
