Try this Simple Pizza Quesadillas Recipe with 3 tasty twists that turn ordinary quesadillas into an irresistible meal anyone will love

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size works great)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (packed, not loosely measured)
  • 0.5 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade, drained a little to avoid sogginess)
  • 0.25 cup sliced pepperoni or cooked sausage (chopped into small pieces)
  • 0.25 cup diced bell pepper (any color, diced small for even cooking)
  • 2 tablespoons sliced black olives (optional but adds a nice touch)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning or dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray (to crisp the quesadilla)

    • Instructions

  • Preheat your skillet: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
  • Assemble your quesadilla: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly, leaving about a ½-inch border. Sprinkle half the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  • Add toppings: Distribute some pepperoni (or sausage), bell peppers, olives, and a pinch of Italian seasoning over the cheese. Top with remaining cheese—this acts like glue to hold everything together. Cover with second tortilla.
  • Cook your quesadilla: Lightly brush the skillet with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Carefully transfer the quesadilla to the skillet. Cook about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and cheese is melting.
  • Flip with care: Using a large spatula, gently flip the quesadilla. Cook another 3 minutes on the second side until it's golden and the cheese is fully melted. Reduce heat if tortilla browns too quickly.
  • Rest then slice: Transfer to a cutting board and let it sit for a minute or two to allow the cheese to set slightly.
  • Cut into wedges: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice into 6-8 wedges. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing on the side.
