Description

Quesadizzas are a fun twist on traditional quesadillas, combining pizza ingredients like marinara sauce, cheese, and toppings with the crispy texture of a quesadilla.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices (or other pizza toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brush with olive oil.
  2. Place one tortilla in the skillet and spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on top.
  3. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, followed by half of the pepperoni slices and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place a second tortilla on top to form a sandwich and press down gently.
  5. Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping carefully until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
  6. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make the second quesadilla.
  7. Slice the quesadizzas into wedges and serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite pizza ingredients, such as onions, peppers, or sausage.
  • If you prefer a crunchier texture, you can bake the quesadizzas in the oven instead of frying them.
  • For a lighter version, use whole wheat tortillas and lower-fat cheese.
