A quick and easy recipe for cheesy, crispy pizza quesadillas perfect for busy weeknight family dinners, ready in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large flour tortillas (10-inch / 25 cm)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (200g)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (100g)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (120ml)
  • About 20 pepperoni slices (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter (30ml)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients first (2-3 minutes): Lay out tortillas, shred cheeses, and have pizza sauce and optional toppings ready.
  2. Heat your skillet over medium heat and add a thin coat of olive oil or butter.
  3. Assemble the quesadilla on a flat surface: spread 2 tablespoons pizza sauce over half the tortilla, sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese, add pepperoni or veggies if using, then fold tortilla in half.
  4. Cook the quesadilla for 3-4 minutes per side in the hot skillet, pressing lightly for even browning until cheese is melted and tortilla is golden and crispy.
  5. Repeat with remaining tortillas, keeping cooked quesadillas warm in a low oven or covered with foil.
  6. Serve immediately, cut into wedges.

Notes

[‘Do not overload the sauce to avoid soggy tortillas; 2 tablespoons per quesadilla is ideal.’, ‘Use a mix of mozzarella and sharp cheddar for best melt and flavor.’, ‘Cook over medium heat to get crispy tortillas without burning.’, ‘Flip carefully with a wide spatula to avoid breaking quesadillas.’, ‘Pre-shredded cheese can be used but may not melt as smoothly.’, ‘For gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas.’, ‘For dairy-free, use dairy-free cheese and tomato-based sauce without dairy.’, ‘Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in skillet for best texture.’, ‘Freezing is not recommended due to texture changes.’]
