Quick and Stunning Pepperoni Pizza Quesadillas Cooked in 15 Minutes
Pepperoni Pizza Quesadillas: A Quick, Cheesy, and Customizable Snack
In just 15 minutes, you can whip up a batch of delicious Pepperoni Pizza Quesadillas that are perfect for a quick snack or a family meal. This easy recipe is customizable, kid-approved, and even healthier alternatives are available for those watching their calories.
Here's what you'll need: - 4 large flour tortillas - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (whole-milk recommended for maximum meltiness) - ½ cup sliced pepperoni (you can swap regular for spicy slices or add red pepper flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick) - ¼ cup pizza sauce - ¼ teaspoon garlic powder - ¼ teaspoon dried oregano - 1 tablespoon olive oil
To prepare, spread the pizza sauce evenly on the tortillas, and add the cheese, pepperoni, garlic powder, and oregano to two of the tortillas. Heat a skillet with olive oil over medium heat, and cook the quesadillas until the edges are toasted and the cheese is melted.
For a crispy exterior and melty cheese interior with a golden tortilla crunch, it's best to assemble the quesadillas just before cooking. Prepping them ahead of time is possible, but they should be assembled and cooked just before serving.
If you're looking to jazz up your quesadillas, consider adding a simple side salad, warm marinara for dipping, or roasted garlic butter broccoli. A fresh sprinkle of cheese before reheating can also make them taste just-made again.
These quesadillas reheat beautifully in a dry skillet over medium-low heat or in the oven at 350°F. If you're watching your calories, try using whole wheat tortillas or turkey pepperoni for a lighter version. However, beware of using corn tortillas, as they may crack and lack the crisp-chewy texture of flour tortillas.
