Description
Pepperoni Pizzadillas are a quick and fun twist on classic pizza, made quesadilla-style using tortillas instead of dough. They deliver all the cheesy, saucy goodness of pizza in a crispy, pan-fried shell that takes just minutes to make. Perfect as a snack, lunch, or easy dinner, these pizzadillas are kid-friendly, customizable, and irresistibly melty.
Ingredients
2 large flour tortillas
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup marinara or pizza sauce
8 to 10 slices pepperoni
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
Optional: Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, grated parmesan
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add half the butter or oil.
Place one tortilla in the skillet and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over half of it. Sprinkle with mozzarella, layer on the pepperoni, and add any optional seasonings you like.
Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet and let rest for a minute before slicing into wedges.
Repeat with the second tortilla and remaining ingredients.
Notes
You can switch up the filling with cooked sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives for a more deluxe version. If using extra sauce inside, go light to avoid sogginess. For dipping, serve with warm marinara or ranch. These are great for using up leftover pizza toppings and make an easy after-school snack or casual dinner.
