Pepperoni Pizza Quesadillas

Pepperoni Pizza Quesadillas

adapted from http://snixykitchen.wordpress.com

8 Corn Tortillas (or flour if you prefer)
8 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 lb pepperoni
1 Jar Pizza Sauce
Optional: mushrooms, black olives etc.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and fry the pepperoni until crisp. Drain on a paper towel. Brush each tortilla with a thin layer of pizza sauce (thin enough that if you turned it over, none would drip). Sprinkle cheese on top of the sauce on the bottom tortilla. Top with pepperoni and other toppings, if desired. Sprinkle with another layer of cheese and place the other tortilla on top (sauce side in).

Pre-heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Lay quesadilla in the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy. Slice into quarters and serve with a little bowl of pizza dipping sauce.

I also have done this in the microwave for a quick lunch. The crispiness of the shells is definitely worth the little extra effort though.

Serves 4
