Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 tbsp pizza sauce
  • 6 slices of pepperoni
  • 1 tbsp sliced black olives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Pan: Heat a large pan over medium heat to prepare for toasting the tortillas.
  2. Add First Tortilla and Cheese: Place one tortilla in the heated pan and sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella evenly over it to create the melty cheese base.
  3. Top and Cook: Place the second tortilla on top of the cheese-topped tortilla and cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 2-4 minutes. Carefully flip and cook the other side until golden and cheese is fully melted, another 2-4 minutes.
  4. Add Pizza Sauce and Toppings: Remove the stacked tortillas from the pan and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the top tortilla. Then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese, place the pepperoni slices, and add sliced black olives if using.
  5. Bake to Finish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the topped pizzadilla to a baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes until the cheese on top is fully melted and bubbly.
  6. Slice and Serve: Remove from oven, slice into wedges like a pizza, and serve warm for a cheesy, crispy treat.

Notes

  • Using large flour tortillas helps contain all the toppings securely.
  • If you prefer a crispier texture, you can lightly brush the tortillas with olive oil before cooking.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers.
  • Monitor the pan closely when toasting tortillas to prevent burning.
  • For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes with the pizza sauce.
