Description
All the flavor of classic pizza wrapped in a crispy tortilla—these pepperoni cheese quesadillas are quick, cheesy, and totally satisfying.
Ingredients
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for extra richness)
24–30 slices of pepperoni
1/2 cup pizza sauce (plus more for dipping)
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for crisping)
Instructions
Assemble Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on half. Add shredded mozzarella, cheddar (if using), pepperoni slices, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. Fold in half.
Cook: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil or butter. Cook each quesadilla 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and the cheese is melted.
Serve: Slice into wedges and serve with warm pizza sauce or marinara for dipping.
Notes
Add chopped olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers for a “supreme” version.
Use whole-wheat or gluten-free tortillas if needed.
Air fryer version: Cook at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway.
Make it spicy with red pepper flakes or hot honey drizzle.
