Ingredients

 

US CustomaryMetric

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 4 large flour tortillas*
• ▢ 1 cup pizza sauce , plus more for dipping, if desired
• ▢ 3 cups shredded cheese* , mozzarella or Italian blend
• ▢ 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Optional Topping Ideas:

• ▢ pepperoni
• ▢ Sliced olives
• ▢ ground sausage
• ▢ onion
• ▢ bell pepper
• ▢ jalapeño or yellow peppers , or sweet pepper ring
• ▢ baby spinach leaves
• ▢ fresh mushrooms , sliced

Instructions

 

• Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each tortilla.
• On one half of a tortilla, sprinkle a little bit of Italian seasoning, cheese, and other desired toppings. Fold the tortilla in half, bringing the half without toppings up and folding it over the top.
• Grease a skillet with a little bit of butter or non-stick cooking spray. Cook filled tortilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping once, until toasted on the outside and cheese is melted in the center.
• Remove from heat, cut into wedges and serve. Dip in extra marinara sauce or ranch, if desired.

Notes

Cheese: If possible it’s best to shred your own block of cheese. Pre-shredded cheese has a powder covering that prevents it from melting as well, and it doesn’t taste as good.

Tortillas: We prefer uncooked flour tortillas (they taste much better than any other store-bought), like Tortilla Land or Fresca brands. Cook them before adding pizza toppings.

Freezing Instructions: Lay assembled pizza quesadillas on lined sheet pan and flash freeze for 1 hour. Then place them in an air tight, freezer safe container, for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven at 350F for 15 minutes or until warmed.
