Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup turkey pepperoni slices
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
Seasonings and Cooking Oil
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil for cooking
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Spread sauce on tortillas: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface and spoon about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto one side of each tortilla. Spread it evenly to cover the surface.
- Top with cheese and pepperoni: Sprinkle approximately 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce on each tortilla. Then place the turkey pepperoni slices evenly across the cheese layer.
- Add seasonings and fold: Lightly sprinkle the garlic powder and Italian seasoning blend over the fillings. Fold each tortilla in half carefully to encase the toppings.
- Cook on the skillet: Heat a tablespoon of butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place one or two folded quesadillas in the pan, depending on pan size.
- Toast and melt cheese: Cook the quesadillas for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping carefully, until the outside is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted completely.
- Slice and dip: Remove the quesadillas from heat and let them cool for a minute to set. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey pepperoni with regular pepperoni or a vegetarian alternative if preferred.
- Use olive oil for a healthier option instead of butter.
- Adjust the amount of cheese and sauce to taste for a thicker or lighter filling.
- Cook on medium heat to ensure the quesadillas toast evenly without burning.
- Serve with additional dips such as ranch or marinara sauce for variety.
