Description
Pizzadillas are a fun and easy twist on traditional quesadillas, combining the flavors of pizza with melty cheese, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning all sandwiched between warm tortillas. They make a perfect snack or quick meal with a crispy, cheesy finish broiled to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium flour tortillas
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1/3 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Preheat your broiler. In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering.
- Assemble the first layer: Place one tortilla in the skillet. Spread half of the pizza sauce evenly over it, scatter the minced garlic, then sprinkle half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning on top.
- Add the second tortilla and cook: Place the second tortilla on top and cook until the cheese starts to melt and the bottom tortilla turns golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
- Flip the pizzadilla: Carefully cover the skillet with a large plate, invert the skillet to transfer the pizzadilla onto the plate, then slide it back into the skillet with the cooked-side up.
- Add remaining toppings: Spread the remaining pizza sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning evenly over the top tortilla.
- Broil to finish: Place the skillet under the broiler and broil for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pepperoni is crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before slicing and serving hot.
Notes
- Use a large oven-safe skillet to easily transfer the pizzadilla from stovetop to broiler.
- Be careful when flipping the pizzadilla to avoid spills or burns; using a large plate helps with this step.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
- You can customize toppings by adding veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms.
- Broil time may vary depending on your oven; keep a close eye to prevent burning.
