Speedy Pizza Quesadillas

 

Ingredients:

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
• 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni (optional)
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
• 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
• 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Quesadillas:

   • Lay out two flour tortillas on a clean surface.
   • Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

2. Add Toppings:

   • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce on each tortilla.
   • If using, add your desired toppings such as sliced pepperoni, black olives, diced bell peppers, and diced onions.

3. Season:

   • Sprinkle dried oregano and dried basil over the cheese and toppings.

4. Assemble the Quesadillas:

   • Place the remaining two flour tortillas on top of the cheese and toppings to create two quesadilla "sandwiches."

5. Cook the Quesadillas:

   • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with olive oil or cooking spray.
   • Carefully transfer one quesadilla to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
   • Repeat with the remaining quesadilla.

6. Slice and Serve:

   • Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute or two.
   • Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice each quesadilla into wedges.
