Description
Delicious cheesy pepperoni quesadillas, perfect for a quick meal!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4–1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Basil (Optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 8-inch tortillas
- 1/2–1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 4–6 oz pepperoni
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a skillet at medium-high heat. Add the diced peppers, onions, Italian Seasoning, basil, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Stir and saute for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Remove the veggies and set them aside.
- Spread a generous amount of marinara or pizza sauce over each tortilla. If you don’t opt to use the pizza sauce, I recommend using some sort of condiment to assist with adhesion of the two tortillas.
- Divide the peppers, onions, pepperoni and grated cheese evenly among the tortillas.
- Top each with another tortilla to form a quesadilla.
- I use the same pan from the peppers and onions. Add a quesadilla to the skillet. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sauce based on how saucy you like your quesadillas.
- Use different types of cheese or meats for varied flavors.
