For the Quesadilla

  • 1 cup Pepperoni Classic pizza flavor; swap for turkey pepperoni or beef slices if desired.
  • 1 cup Cheese (Mozzarella Recommended) Other cheeses can be used, but mozzarella is preferred for optimal melting.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes until warm to the touch.
  2. Take a tortilla and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on one half, leaving the other half bare.
  3. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer pepperoni on top.
  4. Carefully fold the tortilla in half, pressing down gently to seal the edges.
  5. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Gently flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted and tortilla is golden.
  7. Remove from skillet, allow to cool briefly, slice into wedges, and serve with pizza sauce or your favorite dip.
