Course: Main Course
Keyword: cheap, easy meals, flour tortillas, pepperoni, picky eaters, pizza, quesadillas
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 large flour tortilla
  • 1/3 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or a Mexican blend)
  • 6-8 pepperoni slices
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • pizza sauce (for dipping)
  • butter (for pan)

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet to medium heat and fry the pepperoni until crisp. Remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel to soak up the extra grease.
  • Use a paper towel to remove any remaining pepperoni grease from the pan and then add about 1/2 tbsp of butter and spread it around with a spatula as it melts.
  • Drop your tortilla into the pan, flipping it a few times so that both sides are evenly covered in butter. Crisp ONE SIDE of the tortilla for a minute and then flip and top the CRISPY SIDE with shredded cheese, pepperoni, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  • Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the under side is golden brown and your cheese is melted.
  • Fold one side of the tortilla over and remove from the pan. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing with a pizza cutter.
  • Serve with warm pizza sauce or marinara.

Notes

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with this recipe! In addition to the pepperoni, you could also add mushrooms, jalapeños, olives, basil, bell peppers, spinach, onions, etc.
  • If you happen to have grated parmesan on hand, try sprinkling a little into the quesadilla along with the shredded cheese.
