This is a fantastic recipe that everyone is going to want to join in on! Call it a pizza party with a twist! And just like all variations of pizza, you can pick and choose whichever ingredients suit you best! Today I’m keeping it simple with pepperoni, fresh green pepper, and a whole lot of cheese – what can I say, I like my pizza cheesy! What’s not to like about the idea of putting pizza and quesadillas together? It’s simple, tasty as can be, and ready to be devoured in 30 minutes. And if you need another reason, I always say it’s almost like eating a healthier version of pizza! Are you with me? Let’s get started!
What Is A Pizzadilla?
The idea behind a Pizzadilla is taking any and all of your regular favorite pizza toppings folding them into a tortilla shell in place of pizza dough. You are welcome to use any brand or version of tortilla you like, and if you’re trying to stay on the healthier side of this recipe, corn tortillas are a great substitution for wheat tortillas – although I’ll warn you they do not fold over as nicely as the wheat versions!
Ingredients
Pizza sauce – Any store bought brand will work, use your favorite. Flour tortillas – You’re welcome to choose any variation or brand you prefer, I know there are a lot of options! Mozzarella – Shredded, store bought prepackaged, will do if it’s all you can find! Bocconcini – You’ll typically find these in ball form – cut them into slices, you can also just use fresh mozzarella. Green pepper – Today I used a green pepper, chopped. Pepperoni sticks – Sliced, please! These can also be bough prepackaged and already sliced. Basil – Because would it be Italian cuisine without it? Dipping sauce – Extra pizza sauce will work great as a dipping sauce, but you’re welcome to use ranch, caesar dressing or any dip of your choice!
How To Make Pizzadillas
Other Ingredients You Can Add
This list is endless you guys, and you can get as creative as you like! All it requires you to do is think about your favorite pizza! Here are some other great combinations:
Ham and pineapple Sausage, red pepper, and red onion Pepperoni, mushroom, and green pepper Spinach, mushroom, and feta Bacon, ham, and pepperoni Chicken, tomato, and bbq sauce Spinach and artichoke
You can also use whichever cheesy options you prefer! There are a ton out there so have fun with it!
How To Store Leftovers
Pizzadillas will last in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 2 months. Something to keep in mind; the tortilla is going to be a lot thinner than a typical pizza crust, so placing it on parchment paper then into a storage container will be best for when it comes time for reheating!
How To Reheat
I recommend reheating in the oven – to avoid a really soggy microwaved tortilla! This is where the parchment paper that you stored with comes in handy as all you need to do is pull it out entirely, place on a baking sheet, and put into the oven. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes and you’re good to go!
